LIVELY Jitterbug Phones Smart3 Smartphone for Seniors - Cell Phone for Seniors - Must Be Activated Phone Plan - Not Compatible with Other Wireless Carriers

Got this for my brother who had a stroke. Easy for him to use one handed and had everything he needed.

Great phone for my mother in-law. Very easy for her to use.

I have had this phone for years and it suits my purposes. For the price, it is ok. It has lasted at least 6 years. Nobody will covet your phone, but it sends and receives texts, and you can make calls with it. Taking pictures was problematic however. I don't use it all the time, so I can't comment on the phone plan. The price is reasonable, again I am not on this phone all day. A cell phone is a necessity now because of 2 factor ID, and this one does the trick. I prefer my laptop for most uses, because by nature, a cell phone screen is small. I would not recommend this phone to replace a computer as many ppl seem to do, but it worked for what I need without spending 1000 dollars

I purchased the Jitterbug phone for my sister and unfortunately it did not work out. The reason why I returned it was there is no speed dialing. To make a call it required 5 steps. And It was not possible to add a contact to the menu. I called to cancel the cell plan and they refused to refund the $68 or prorate it. I only had the phone for about a week and spent all that time trying to get the phone to work. You read all about how you have 30 days to try it out. I thought if it didn't work out I would not be charged for the monthly phone plan or it would be prorated. I feel this is misleading. And I have been taken advatage of. There are a lot of other problems. Unlimited Data Unlimited data plan slows down after 20 gb. From 300 mg to 128 kb. It crawls. And if you think 20 gb is a lot it is not. My sister is in a nursing home, their wifi is always down and she uses between 35 - 40 gb a month. Just playing games. No video, no music just games. Setup: It took more than 2 hours to setup the phone. Activation took 40 mins. They would not contact me directly to an agent to help me set up the phone. I had to wait 15 mins while they reset the phone. I had to call back 3 times each time I had to wait 15 mins then call back. I was also disconnected once. After an hour I finally reached an agent who was great, Diane, she remotely accessed my phone and did a great job. the call lasted 68 mins. Factory Resets: I had to do 2 factory restarts. This is when the phone is comepletly wiped. And you have to start all over again. One time it was because of an update. One time my sister got to a blank screen, I don't know how she did it, and the home key would not work. Restart did not help. I had to do a factory reset. The phone is 4g not 5g. You might be surprised, but this does make a difference. I don't write reveiws, positive or negative but I am so upset. I write this reveiw to help you in your research find a good phone for your love one.

I purchased the LIVELY Jitterbug Smart4 for my 93-year-old mom, and it’s been a fantastic choice overall. She’s never been very tech-savvy, but this phone is designed with clarity and simplicity in mind. The large screen, big text, and straightforward menu make it easy for her to use without getting overwhelmed. The speaker is loud and clear, which is a huge plus for anyone with hearing difficulties. She can hear it ring from another room, and phone calls are crisp and easy to follow. The touch screen is responsive, and the simplified home screen keeps everything she needs—like the phone, camera, and messages—right up front. Setup was relatively easy, and customer support through Lively has been very friendly and patient. Just note that the phone must be activated with a Lively plan—it’s not compatible with other carriers, so make sure that works for your needs before purchasing. The only slight downside is the learning curve that comes with any smartphone for someone her age—but with time and encouragement, she’s gotten the hang of calling, texting, and even using the camera. ✅ Excellent for seniors with vision or hearing concerns ✅ Large icons, simple interface, and great support ✅ Peace of mind with emergency features if needed I feel good knowing she’s connected and safe with a phone that was truly made for her stage in life. Would definitely recommend to others caring for elderly parents.

Great display, easy to use. It is a little slow but fine for my elder parent to use. Though the speaker phone even at max volume does still sound a bit low for my hearing impaired parents. If you have hearing aids it does have options for this. Unfortunately my parents do not so this option is of no use to me personally.

I just love my jitterbug smart4 phone. This is my first ever mobile phone, which took me a while to set up due to my inexperience. I prefer a 'louder' sound, so I purchased an external speaker to hook up, which arrives tomorrow, January 11. I charge it throughout the day in order to keep it at high capacity. I do not miss my old landline, which is affected by heavy rains, which occurs here in Honolulu. And the monthly charge is much less than the landline, saving me money, which I do not mind.

I bought this for my 85-year-old mother. The keys are large enough for her to see and The screen is nice and bright. I had no problem setting this up for her nor teaching her how to use it. It's a great phone for an elderly person.
