The Jitterbug Plus is another contender in the senior cell phone arena and follows in the footsteps of the other Jitterbug cell phones. Some of the features this phone has include a bright color screen that shows the large numbers well, back-lit keypad with big buttons, crisp on-screen graphics, amplified speaker with clear sound, easy navigation & live customer support 24/7. This phone is available in silver and red.

Like other Jitterbug phones, the Jitterbug Plus is designed to fit into the changing lifestyles of seniors. Features are built into the phone to help maintain independence, without sacrificing usefulness or aesthetics.

One of the new services from Jitterbug available on the Plus is the 5Star service. Essentially, this service replaces a Personal Emergency Response (PERS) service. If a customer finds themselves in any trouble, they can press “5 *” on their phone and they will immediately be connected with a NAED Certified Response Agent. The Plus utilizes patented GPS technology, which helps response personnel determine your location quickly and accurately.

Large numbers on bright, crisp color screen make the screen easy-to-read. As are the big buttons on the back-lit keypad. And, the amplified speaker (with clear sound), makes it easier to hear for those that need a little extra boost in sound. (And, the Plus is hearing aid compatible.) There are a lot of of other features that seniors aging in place might find useful, including:

  • Easy navigation
  • Camera with 1 button photo sharing
  • Long lasting battery
  • 24/7 live customer support
  • Free brain games included
