The first time I have heard of Jitterbug cell phone of one of my closest friends, I thought of the pure and simple it was. It reminded me of a simple home phone. I decided to give it a try after having problems with my over the top cell phone technology.
I remember the first time I tried the phone I absolutely loved the simplicity of the phone. It is a perfect phone for those who simply do not want to deal with all the technology of new cell phones on the market.
Unlike most mobile phones on the market today, this phone does not have these confusing menus all other cell phones have. You have the option to select either yes or no depending on what you want to do, which makes using this phone as easy as 1-2-3.
Another great feature on the Jitterbug phone is the large number keys. I love the numeric keys compared to cell phones like the Blackberry. I have great chubby fingers that make it difficult to punch in numbers on small number buttons.
I also noticed that the incoming and outgoing calls are clear and sharp, even the phone reduces background noise than other higher priced cell phones do not.
The Jitterbug cell phone also has a caller ID, like other cell phones and most phones from the house.
Of all the things I like the Jitterbug, I think the only thing I like most is the fact that no contracts with the Jitterbug. With all my previous cell phone companies, I always had to sign a contract before I can get a cell phone. The bad thing about contracts is the fact that you are bound to them usually for 1 year minimum. With some cell phone companies the contracts are for as long as 2 years. I hate contracts because if for some reason I want to change my cell phone before the contract is finished, I have to pay expensive fees.
However, I am delighted that the Jitterbug phone is not a contract. Furthermore, the fact that the Jitterbug is very affordable, in my opinion.
I highly recommend the Jitterbug phone to all those who are not notified of technology such as grandparents and parents as well as those who are just getting their first cell phones. It is very user friendly compared to other cell phones, and does not come with the hassle of having to get a contract.
