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...
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.
And free minutes anytime after 7pm and all weekends are free.
Good afternoon, Blue. Hope you’re having a fine Christmas.

Here are the monthly plans

WHEW! That’s a hefty charge for the phone. The last one I got was only $40.
The $10 for SOS (if that means emergency calls) would be great because that’s all I intend to use it for. But, with your information, I’m rethinking the whole deal.
Have a look at post 72 for more information on the Jitterbug phone. I may not be getting it after all.
