Easy phone for seniors
Very timely delivery. Was delivered earlier than expected. Bought for my Brother who is going into care home at 91. Easy for him to use and customer support was exceptional!

Well Made, Long Battery Life and Good Sound
I also own a regular Android Smart Phone. I like to have two. I use the Jitterbug when I go for walks around the lake since it is more compact. The camera is very good too. I really like the 5 Star emergency feature on the phone. In an emergency they can track your exact location. They have all my medical history if necessary to use. Sound quality is good and volume loud. I am tech savy so this phone is not hard for me to use. That said, this is not a phone for an elderly person who is not at all tech savy. Too complex in that it asks for a Yes of No press many times and the forward and back buttons would definitely confuse my elderly mother. Not to imply that older people cannot be tech savy, but if they are not too much into modern technology then this is not the phone for them. The emergency 5 Star feature, however, may override the complexity of the other features.

volume level keeps shifting
Good but not Great. The user interface tries to do too many things: take pictures, videos, do text messages, check voice mail, check missed calls . . . Seniors need a phone that does one thing GREAT (make phone calls) and move everything else to the back burner, still available, but buried away in the menus for savy Seniors who feel like exploring bonus features. There are so many things they could have done to make phone calling easier. This is actually better than other flip phones, but not as much as hoped for. I’d suggest they make the call menu top priority for the phone, scroll down and have the contact names right there, then press okay and it immediately calls that contact. To do anything else should require navigating through the MENU which could be at the top, right above all the contact names. Easy, problem solved, and many more aging seniors would be able to use it.—-EDIT—- My mother is constantly accidentally turning the volume down (pressing the buttons on the side) and then saying things like “I can’t hear you I can’t hear you I can’t hear you” and has difficulty figuring out she needs to turn the volume back up. subtracting another star. surprisingly difficult for her to use this phone—REEDIT — this is an AWFUL PHONE, Mom and I can’t figure out how to adjust the ringer volumn up, I tried to talk to her on another phone telling her which button to press, the volumn button on the side that the manual clearly specifies, didn’t work, she actually got it to drop down to silent. 0 stars now, if can’t figure it out will have to cancel

Fairly easy to use, but previous generation software was simpler
I bought this phone as a replacement for my elderly mother whose 1st generation Greatcall Flipâs battery was dying. The hardware is almost exactly the same except for some different wording on the buttons. The software is also similar, except for placing a call. Unless you set up one touch dialing, the number of steps to just call a contact has increased vs the first generation phone. For a savvy user this is not a problem. For an elderly person that is not that into technology, thatâs a problem. I donât understand why they would make this most basic operation more complicated for a product specifically tailored to an elderly audience; this is supposed to be their area of expertise. However, we set up one touch dialing to overcome this complication. The rest of the phone is great. So one star demerit for making contact calling more complicated when not using one-touch dialing. Otherwise a great product.

Husband is happy
Sorry, no picture, but he is very satisfied with his replacement phone. He brought the exact same one.

Alexa works but is hard to set up, calling is awkward
We got this for my 89 year old father in law because a smartphone is way too error prone for him. Even if he were to use Siri to dial, if he touched the screen he would be in trouble. He has AMD so he only has peripheral vision and canât see well enough to work through any menus or a contact list, even with the large font on this phone.He flips the phone open to answer, puts it to his ear, and flips it closed to hang up. He knows how to do that, and it is reliable that way!Hidden in the accessibility settings in the phone is a handy one to lock the exterior buttons so he canât accidentally turn the ringer volume down.We also liked that this has Alexa capability so he might be able to use dial by voice on top of the flip phone practicality.Unfortunately Amazon and Lively arenât friendly enough to have a seamless integration of Alexa with the phone. Itâs hard to set up and the results leave something to be desired.First you have to link your Lively and Amazon accounts which is understandable, but then you have to add the Lively âskillâ to Alexa on this device.The big disappointment is that even after jumping through the hoops to successfully set it up you canât say, âAlexa, call Tommy.â You have to say, âAlexa, ask Lively to call Tommy.â My father in law is having the darnedest time remembering that or even pronouncing the new words for him âAlexaâ, âaskâ, and âLively.â You canât deviate, you have to nail it! Apparently he never uses the word ask itâs always tell, and Alexa was an obscure name in 1945 but Alexis was fairly popular!If we could get it to call me when he says, âAlexis, call Tommyâ or even, âAlexis, tell your buddy to call Tommyâ that would be great.

Does The Job
After sending back two cell phones, one for rejecting all SIM cards and the other for relying on a network carrier that did not carry to my county address I was going to give up on the cell phone franchise as tech-junk. Having nothing to lose, on account of Amazon’s liberal return policy (thank you Amazon), I gave it one more shot.The Flip 2 for us old geezers did the job. The 19.95 plan was a bit more expensive than some, but the phone cost half as much as the last one, the hookup was fairly painless and the the damn thing actually works. That last is a big fat deal, especially when the car is in a ditch between San Diego and god-knows-where.The user manual is big and understandable. Most are the size of a playing card, and written in some micro font that my 19 year old grand kid can’t even read.These guys considered the target consumers.
