Have you heard of the Jitterbug phone? I’m considering getting it. They advertise that it doesn’t have all the things you don’t want, just a phone.

I’ll send you the info on it sometime later today. Too short of time right now.

I found the information about Jitterbug.

“The world’s simplest and most hassle-free cell phone, with service as low as $10 a month. Jitterbug Dial doesn’t have all the fancy features that you don’t use anyway.”

The price is good if you only use it for phone calls, and know your limit.

I want one just for emergency calls.

1-800-383-4593

From their ad:
*Large, bright display and buttons that are easy to see
*Simple yes and no buttons—no confusing icons
also, they’ll send you a brochure if you want it.

Here's the Jitterbug

Great idea for a basic phone, but it is a scam for how much you have to pay for so little minutes. Plus they charge you per minute calls...

Here are the monthly plans

You pay for the phone ($147), Activation fees ($35), cheapest monthly plan is $10 for SOS calls only, $.35 per minute! They even charge you an additional $3.00 a month for voicemail!!!! And you know you will use that if the grandkids want to call Grandma every week. The other modest plan is $30 for 150 minutes... What a joke. I pay $30 a month on the Sprint SERO plan and get 500 + 100 bonus minutes plus free web access free voicemail, unlimited text messages.
