Be wary of.....
Volume doesn't go up high enough for my elderly, hard of hearing, parents if the television is on or people talking.
So far, I cannot find a way to block unwanted spam texts.
Had trouble and trouble with some features and had to reset the phone and start all over.
Would not save the voice-mail message after many, many tries.
Good..... it's easy to use and catch on.

I purchased this phone from the Gaithersburg Best Buy. It was on sale. The phone was an upgrade from the Jitterbug2 phone. I love the new graphics and screen, THe battery lasts all day on an overnight charge. The camera is sharp and focused. I recommend this phone highly since it also has medical services on it.

I was very pleased we were able to purchase the Jitterbug Smartphone for a much reduced cost. This phone will be used by my wife and appears to meet her needs for a not so complicated device. The sales rep - Joe - was very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful during the sale process. I am a TotalTech member and recommend this to other individuals.

Got this for 92yr old mom. Currently using a flip phone buying minutes 1/year. Never really understood how to get voicemail. Thought this would be easier.It does provide for very simple layout but she just doesn't take changes well. At 92 you can't blame her what she has works for basic needs and it's cheaper than a smartphone plan.

What I like about this phone for seniors: 1) the home page is very easy; no icons and it walks you through each step. 2) their customer service in my opinion is excellent. Live people; I have not had to wait long and they don't mind answering simple questions. Down side the battery is slow.

The new Jitterbug 3 Smart Phone is really great! It is user friendly and does everything that I need it to do! Plus, the battery doesn't run down nearly as fast as the one in my previous Jitterbug Smart Phone (which was a Jitterbug 3). \

Much better than the Smart2. Responds quicker and holds a charge much much longer. The slightly increase in size make the phone fit better in my phone holder.

I love my new Smart3 phone. It can do more than I expected, and it is so much better than the old flip phone. And the price was right, much more affordable than the others. It was easier to learn how to use it than I expected. Plus, customer service at Lively is fantastic.

Even though it's made for seniors, my 81yo uncle had a hard time understanding to swipe up and down to get to different programs on the phone. Everything is a nice, decent size but it was kind of hard for him to use a touchscreen.

Got this for my grandmother and am very impressed with it. You can use either the Jitterbug Experience as shown in the images or you can use the default Android experience. The Jitterbug Experience really does make using a cellphone simple for seniors and the on-call nurse gives me piece of mind. There’s even a number she can call if she’s simply feeling depressed and could use someone to talk to (if I’m at work and can’t answer my phone).

We purchased this phone for or grandaughter for her BD. She has a disability and lives in another state. She came to visit us and she liked it a lot. Taught her how to use it. Hope it works out for her. It is easier to operate for her than her last phone. We are pleased with it.

Bought this for my wife when her iPhone stopped working. Phone was easy to start up and has been working good for the last couple of weeks. She uses it mostly as a phone but does some texting and emails. Would recommend if you’re tired of paying big money for an iPhone and then have the iPhone stop working 100 percent.

I've been wanting to try this service and phone, and I'm glad I did. I was worried that the larger size would be a problem, but it is narrow enough for me to have a good grip, and it doesn't weigh much. The larger screen and font size keep my eyes from getting tired. The phone, texting,internet, and settings are easy to use, but I can still do everything that I need to do on it. The store salesman was very knowledgable, and Lively Help has been very responsive. Just tap the Lively icon and make the call. They respectfully help you solve your problem. While I don't need the health support at this time, I feel confident that Lively will meet my needs in the future.

This cell phone is for seniors. It is easy to use and is backed by an excellent customer service team at Lively. It has enough features to keep pace with much more expensive products.

This phone is very easy to use for seniors or anyone who doesn't need all the apps a normal cell phone has. This was purchased for a 93 year old and he really likes it and for calling and recieving text notices.

This smart phone was to be the upgrade from my flip phone. I guess it's wonderful, if I could use it. The set up asked me questions I could not answer, and after several hours of trying to tap tiny letters & numbers to enter my email address & password, I finally called for help. After being told by the support team at Lively that I needed to practice or contact the GEEK squad to use this fine phone. I decided that I did not need a new phone and contacted Lively to switch my account back to my Jitterbug2, which they did in a very friendly and understanding manner, Thank You LIVELY. Then when I started to arrange a return with BEST BUY, I discovered that the restocking fee was almost 50% of the purchase price. Now I can tell everyone I have a SMARTphone, it's in a box in the desk.
I must add that everyone I contacted at BEST BUY & LIVELY during this two day adventure were very nice.
