Why do you need the phone to order a pizza? I have been ordering my pizza via the net for years.

This phone is a godsend. I am not a senior, I am not a tech phobic but I am an individual with disabilities. All of the phones had keys to small for me to use in a functional way, and I have a hearing deficit. This phone covers both needs.

I work for Jitterbug and your right its not just designed for older people. I get many calls from people of all ages just wanting a simpler phone. some, not because they don’t know how to use a traditional cell phone, just because the dont want to, they don’t need to. just like you Jeff.

I love your peice by the way… Great article. I’m actually in between sales calls right now. Reading reviews on Jitterbugs pretty much all I’m aloud to do. Yours brought a smile to my face. Thanks Jeff

Sorry Kevin, you are tech genius. I am not. I thought I made that clear in the piece above.

The fact that you found even lower end model phones hard, frustrating and that you had to resort to shutting off the phone to end a call tells me that the Jitterbug wasn’t just an off-chance thing you found in a AARP article but in fact the phone was MADE FOR YOU TYPES. Also the fact that you found the iphone to be like “work” just nails the fact that those types of phones aren’t meant for older people. Let’s face it you’re old, the Jitterbug was created for seniors and baby boomers and you fit the bill.

Hint: Hit the red button to end a call and learn to use the phonebook, if you can’t figure that out then how do you operate in life? Yellowpages are x10 harder than learning how to use a cellphone’s phonebook for crying out loud…

Did you notice how the three buttons on the “One Touch” model are color coded to represent the level of emergency? Suspiciously similar to our nation’s well-crafted terror alert system. I suspect Tom Ridge carries a Jitterbug in his breast pocket.
