Jitterbug J Cell Phone
Digital media dominates all levels of communication today. Cell phones along with televisions, stereos, and computers have gotten smaller and smaller with many complicated features that make even the most simplistic devices difficult to use. In terms of cell phones, the most important features are often lost amongst options for text messaging, ring tones and downloads from the internet.
What most seniors need is an inexpensive cell phone that is easy to use and offers only the necessary features to connect with friends and family.
Good news though from the company that brought consumers the easy-to-use Jitterbug J cell phone. Greatcall.com recently announced their win for the 2011 Best Cell Phone from About.com Reader’s Choice Awards. The Jitterbug J phone is simple to use with bigger buttons and a more powerful speakerphone, both features that make using a mobile phone easier for elderly people. Additional features include easy menu navigation, access to options with simple “YES” and “NO” questions, and the assurance of a live operator by dailing “0″ anytime, day or night.
When working with elderly clients, especially those with a need for fiduciary services such as power of attorney and conservatorship, Jitterbug phones make communication safe and easy for both the you and your clients.

This seems like a great option for Seniors, especially if it’s affordable, and seems to have won several awards. The only thing to me is that the numbers on the screen seem a bit small for an elderly person. And how is this one different from the SVC from Tracfone? What’s the feature you would highlight the most?
The Jitterbug is a great phone, but for seniors on a tight budget, there is also the Tracfone SVC which has most of the features of the Jitterbug at a much lower cost and without a contract.
