I'm researching a phone plan for my grandfather, and the Jitterbug phone itself looks like a good design for seniors, but both the phone and the service (as well as the extras) are EXPENSIVE!
Is it really that much better than something like TracFone?
After not getting much response on this question, I did a bunch of research myself. This is what I came up with:

Hi. I worked for Jitterbug for many years (before it was Jitterbug it was the SOS PHONE). The phone is excellent for technophobes. The customer service is great, and they try to make everything as simple as possible for the user. If your grandpa is going to use hundreds of minutes per month, then he might be better off with another phone with higher usage plans at a cheaper rate, but the Jitterbug design is awesome for seniors, so many find it well worth it to pay extra to get that comfort and ease of use.
