Jitterbug – The Anti-Cell Phone
| For all the crazy phones that have hit the market that do everything from smell funny, take pictures and allow you to pay for a soda, it’s refreshing to see a phone company get back to the basics. The Jitterbug clearly has a very targeted market. The post-boomer, loss of hearing, loss of dexterity, and possibly loss of some sight market will really appreciate this phone/service. The sound quality is among the best we’ve ever heard on any cell phone. |  |
Part of the reason is due to the way the ear piece cups your ear. It’s also refreshing to have a Jitterbug customer service team that can clearly communicate with you and really knows their product. We have yet to wait on hold…and this is worth a lot to Jitterbug’s target market. It is a bit of a bummer that you still can’t transfer an old phone number to your Jitterbug phone/service, but based on demand – we’re hopeful that they’ll add this capability (you can transfer your Jitterbug number to another phone/service, just not vice-versa). To be clear, not everyone is looking for this simple of a phone (Most boomers would rather show off an iPhone). The Jitterbug does get a thumbs-up from our customers…complaints are extremely rare.
