Seniors/Seniorettes: Do you have a Jitterbug cell phone? If so, do you like the phone & the service?

I have a cell phone & will stick with it. I just wondered if anyone has purchased a Jitterbug cell phone & whether or not you're satisfied with it. If not, why aren't you?

Update:

@Crazybunnie.....I addressed my questions to Seniors/Seniorettes. That doesn't mean high school Seniors or people your age.

Update 2:

@Power.....My elderly neighbor just got the Jitterbug phone & I asked her if she was able to keep the same number. She said she was able to do so. So, that's a plus for her or others who switch to Jitterbug. I was looking at her phone & it has some great features for people who are hard of hearing & for those who have arthritis in their hands/fingers. It'll allow them to make calls easier. The keypad has big numbers & it's lighted for ease in dialing.

    I just bought a new cell with a camera...a Tracfone which is very cheap to have. I looked at the Jitterbugs and they are really very nice and if it had a camera, I would have bought it. It was more than I wanted to pay, but all cell phones are so handy to have, especially away from the home. Jitterbugs are flip phones, and in my opinion, the only kind to have.

    Here is a link about any problems you may find with a Jitterbug. I see right now they are also on sale for $99. Also, their minutes are rather expensive. I paid $30 for my Tracfone and about $10 a month for minutes. This link will show you....

    I considered Jitterbug and also Consumers Cellular, both pushed by AARP. My consideration was cost so I went with TracFone. I don't use a cell phone often enough to be interested in the bells and whistles but Jitterbug was an interesting looking deal.

    Aside to Crazybunnie. No one asked your opinion. The question was addressed to Seniors/Seniorettes and at age 14 you're encroaching in space where you've worn out your welcome. Don't let the door hit you on your smarta$$ on the way out. You need to change your ID to Dumbbunnie.

    Seniorettes? ....lol, I like your turn of title for us.

    I looked into the jitterbug but though I love the phone I could not afford the amount of service I want. I must have unlimited minutes any time and any where in the U.S.

    I've a motorola rizr z3. T-mobile sevice. I like my telephone, it could possibly preserve alot of songs, which is just right cuz i love track. Takes nice photos. I like the form, its a slider. It's kinda falling aside, the buttons are falling out. It ain't my fault, they used some kind of sticky substance to hold down the navigational button and the middle button to the phone. The center button is somewhere, who knows? I can do with out that. Are you aware how normally the navigational button has long past missing? I have got to tear down the position to seem for the piece of button! T-cell is expensive, i have no idea about other services. T-cellular is all i know and that i cant stay up for my contract to conclude. My rant is over now lol

    No, but I am curious to see your answers. I have had it with T-mobile overcharging me. So I want to know what else is availbble.

    My question would be "if you get this or any other kind of phone that you switch to can you keep your number". I have a business so I have to keep my phone number.http://jitterbugphonereviews.com/
