We took a chance on this phone for my mother-in-law, who just couldn't grasp the full functionality of a Samsung smartphone. It was easy to start up the service with Lively, and the customer services agents that helped us were very helpful. The easy interface makes for a much better experience for my elderly mother in law. The phone has a great battery life and she is able to do everything she needs with it.

At first, my blood pressure was really high and I was getting really frustrated, as I don't care for this new technology, as I don't understand it.....With the help of my Grand Daughter and friends, asking lots of questions, I believe I more or less get used to this..... with the help of a friend, she found the 20's, 30's 40's and 50's songs of long been gone.....I took this down to breakfast and everyone enjoyed the music......this thing does everything except doing the dishes..... I love the texting, don't really care for Facebook, I will not be friends with anyone I don't know.....UNBELIEVABLE the people who ask me to be "friends!" All in all, the more questions I ask, the more I learn.....

Perfect smartphone for my 85 yo Mom! Screens are simplistic and functions are very straightforward for anyone to use. She absolutely loves the large font and screen layout and the video call feature is of course her favorite when talking with her great-grandchildren. The service plans are reasonable as well,

the sales dept was great-but-the phone was disappointing it froze( my fault ) up during set-up and on its return to Best Buy the salesman had to unfreeze it if it froze up that easily the elderly person who was to receive it would do worse playing with it i bought a flip to help alleviate confusing for the man but it turned out to be just as bad I am disappointed in the Jitterbug. this does not take in to account the 25 min wait for lively to put a person on the phone or the 2 hangups that occurred

When my wife's flip phone quit functioning because it was 3G we searched for a replacement and Ethen fixed us up with a great product with all of the features of a more expensive cell phone at a fraction of the price.

Very pleased with purchase of Jitterbug 3. The young lady at Best Buy was very helpful. When Lively had a problem with accepting the activation she hung in there until she was successful. Then she patiently explained the features to me so that even this 92 year old understood. Other smart phones stump me but the Jitterbug 3 simplifies things.
