Jitterbug J
Imagine you or your loved one who is aging in place being able to manage and schedule multiple appointments. Or feeling ill and having an RN at your fingertips anytime of the day. Imagine the peace of mind knowing that there is assistance on the other end of the line no matter what time of day. That is what Jitterbug customers can experience.
Jitterbug released the Jitterbug J cell phone and expanded rate plans that offer affordable options and carefully target senior needs. It truly is a next generation senior cell phone, with a sleek, comfortable new design. The J really does offer a calendar with assistance; a user can schedule multiple appointments or have an operator enter them for him.
