    Gift for my senior parent mom

    Bought this as a gift for my Mom. Thanks to Best Buy and their credit card points which I can redeem for gift certificates. I used the gift certificate which I earned from previous purchases and did not have to pay much at all for the phone. Pickup was flawless. My mother was so surprised and she loves her new phone which is a two generation update from her previous Jitterbug. Great Phone. Highly recommended. Jitterbug Customer Service was also great & helped me to switch my Mom's same number over to her new phone at no extra cost.

    Phone is much better than Jitterbug 3. Still would like some improvements. The brightness, volume and task icons get adjusted constantly from my touch. Text needs it's own alert sound.

    I bought this phone for an 89-year-old friend who lives alone. She had an iPhone for three years, had difficulty operating it, and would only use her home phone to talk. She is finding the Jitterbug much easier to operate. Still has a few more "lessons" to learn before she becomes more comfortable with it.

    This is a very nice phone. It is just as awesome as the regular big screen 5.4 " phones. I love the magnifying glass feature to enlarge the fonts. Very easy to navigate and it has tutorials to help navigate anytime you need it. The plans for the phone is awesome not expensive at all for what you are getting. The design is ni e. This is a great phone. I highly recommend one for all elderly persons. It has special features for them to call a nurse,doctors, emergency features, so much. Help you & your loved ones feel secure with this phone today. You can also use google,add apps from the app store. I am thinking about getting one for myself.

    Shame on You!

    Shame on you BestBuy! I purchased this phone online for a friend who is blind and in a wheelchair. She received the phone and got help to transport her to your North Spokane Store, When she arrived, she was told that the technician who could activate her phone would mot be in until 10AM. She waited over an hour for the technician only to be told the he only activated Verizon (not Lively) phones, She was also told that because the phone was not purchased at that store, that they could not activate her phone. On the BB website, the first customer review that shows says: “If I come in person to Best Buy and purchase the Jitterbug Smart4 Smartphone, will I walk out of the store with the phone ready to go with my phone number and a data plan? Thank you.” Asked by Jen 2 years ago Answer This Question See all questions & answers 1-4 of 4 Answers Yes..if you have the store set your phone up for you and you will get a discount too!! This is the first answer that pops up....if you open it up to see all the remaining answers Answered by DavidA 2 years ago Verified Purchase I just bought a Jitterbug 4 this afternoon in Poughkeepsie N.Y. and asked the salesperson if she could set the phone up for me and she said no even though I had an older phone with me and the information Answered by Anonymous 1 year ago Helpful (10)Unhelpful (0)Report NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are not allowed to help you set up the phone in spite of what the customer service rep. may tell you Answered by Mary 2 years ago This needs to be cleared up. The phone maybe great but getting it activated is surely not!
