Jitterbug phones for seniors is just in simple words “The best of both worlds”- Modern style and design coupled with child like simplicity of a pick and talk phone. Yet highlighting any of the best features would be like choosing between your left eye and your right eye if someone were to ask you “If ever you were to lose one eye, which one would you like (?) To lose”.
Of course no one would ask this silly question, as much as I would like to answer this choice out of the best of both worlds. Jitterbug phones are unique, “Out of the World” and a big boon to seniors. All the same the two best features I would like to select are

1. The One-Touch Jitterbug Facility where you could either make a call to your loved one by just the click of only one button. Since the Monitor which is a bright screen with big bold fonts are easily visible to the seniors, they would have the choice of either pressing the “Operator” button and requesting them to make a call, or as soon as you open the phone the screen pops up with the Phone book screen, where you only need to scroll up or down to reach the number of your choice, and then either press yes to call or no to close the call. Easier still if you just want to close the call, just close the phone. If you desire operator assistance then again you have a one-touch button where the operator will assist you with any number of your choice. Of course your normal dial button options are readily available, but I would still go for the Jitterbug OneTouch.
2. The second option or Feature I liked was the outstanding feature of having a 911-button right there on your phone. I do agree, and only hope that our seniors never require this facility, but this one is just too unique. Be it assistance for themselves or for others a One-touch 911 dial button is one thing that any senior will appreciate. Normally any senior or for that matter anyone will panic and forget even the most basic number for an emergency facility. But here you have just one button to press and the message goes straight through. And even in the extreme case of the senior not able to speak out or be able to express him/herself, 911 are trained and efficient enough to handle calls of this nature. What else would a senior ask for in a utility as good as this?Friendly, 24-hour service. Just dial “0” for the operator on your Jitterbug cell phone. Order now.
If you decide to buy this great phone, I will receive a small contribution to my retirement fund!
