What makes this Jitterbug Flip cell phone the best choice for seniors and beginners (what the kids call "newbies")? The Jitterbug Flip cell phone was designed specifically to be a simple, affordable cell phone for seniors and others with little, or no, cell phone experience. While other phone companies try to outsmart each other by developing fancy-schmancy bells and whistles that the typical person will never use, the Jitterbug Flip is fully focused on being easy to see, easy to hear, and easy to use. It's not overloaded with complex hi-tech that would make it unnecessarily complicated. There's no swiping, no tapping the screen, no cryptic icons, and no confusing navigation -- after all, its job is to be a phone, not an interstellar rocket ship. The Jitterbug Flip's super-loud speakerphone and amplified speaker ensure that you can hear every word spoken by your family and friends. In addition, it even holds the highest available rating for compatibility with hearing aids (M4/T4). Best of all, when you flip open your new Jitterbug, you'll be greeted by a normal, familiar-looking dial pad. All of the buttons are large and easy to use. The large, backlit buttons are easy to see and easy to press, even with unsure hands, even in dim lighting. There are easy YES and NO keys and centrally-located up and down buttons. It's extremely intuitive and a breeze to use. The lower part of the sharp, color display screen has a handy "Command Area." This is where it asks you what you want to do. For example, if you are in your Phone List and the first contact is highlighted -- in the Command Area you will see the question, "Call?" Then you simply press the YES or NO key. The phone has a built-in tutorial available whenever you need some help. In addition, friendly operators are available just by pressing the "0" button. They will even dial a number for you, just like those old-time switchboard operators back in the day. Other outstanding senior-friendly features: 1)...

I paid $65 for this thing and when I got around to activating it, Jitterbug told me that the phone associated with the serial number of this phone was scrapped and COULD NOT BE ACTIVATED.
I have the jitterbug with the yes and no buttons and only two arrows up and down. It is for my 92 year old mother. So easy to use I ordered one of the same for my husband. I think the newer one may not be as easy.
I have no issues with the seller at all. The service was prompt and professional. The Jitterbug was in a factory-sealed box and all the components were wrapped, so it was a new device. The issue came when I tried to activate the phone. It gave an Error 03 message halfway through the process. It did it twice so I called Jitterbug Customer Support. They advised it appeared the phone was defective so I would need a new one. I don't think this was anything the seller could have avoided. It was just a defective phone. I would purchase again from the seller.
We got grandpa a jitterbug phone because he was afraid of them He wouldn’t even answer grandma’s phone. He feared he’d hit a wrong button or something. He carries his jitterbug with him all the time. Now we can keep in touch
Spent valuable time trying to activate the phone. Told the signal was weak. Phoned Jitterbug and they sent out another one and it worked from the beginning. So disappointment. Left a 94 yo man without communication for three weeks.
