Lively Jitterbug Flip2 - Flip Cell Phone for Seniors - Not Compatible with Other Wireless Carriers - Must Be Activated with Lively Phone Plan - Red Flip Phone

The perfect phone for a senior who only wants to make voice calls. My wife will not use smart phones, I should know I bought her three over the years and they sit in a box. This flip phone has good voice quality, looks great, and for her its super simple to use. I should have purchased it years ago. Great value for the money.

What a win! A phone that calls and texts instead of selling every piece of my internet history to the highest bidder in order to fill my life with ads and porn. Let's go! This phone is easy to set up, easy to use, and so far, the call quality has been just as good as my old Verizon phone. The battery is lasts forever.The only thing that is taking some getting used to is the old-school texting format. And the fact that the "ok" button is not in the center of the directional pad (why in the world would that not be the case).Thanks for a great product Jitterbug. Helping me take back my life!

I got this phone for an older gentleman that doesn't know much about how to run a phone. I think the phone is overall great. But when I was setting it up for him, it was difficult. I was doing it online to save the $5. (They tell you, you can save 5$ if u do it online) well, it didn't work so it told me I needed to call customer service. That was also a pain and it didn't go very smoothly. I couldn't imagine a older person trying to set this up by themselves. I'm 27, if that means anything. But overall, we finally got it set up and he can use it fairly easy.

Total redesign - old EASY functionality gone.My dad has had a Jitterbug phone for years. He uses it to make PHONE CALLS. It is a flip phone!!! Some brilliant person decided this phone needed bells and whistles. After researching phones, we purchased the Jitterbug Flip Phone for my dad about 6-7 yrs ago.It had big buttons easy to see and dial.It was loud, call volume and ringtone.Super easy to use - extremely intuitive.Perfect for a senior - arthritis, neuropathy and hearing loss. (SENIORS this was their target market)NEW JITTERBUGSmaller buttons, but slightly raised. Volume seems ok so far. That for the most part is primarily what has stayed the same.I was assured the phone has speed dial it does not, Set-up info is in the manual but not a function the phone supports. The contact list is in alphabetical order- an improvement for some.All of the functionality of the original jitterbug is gone.Well, lots of info about texting from the phone; however, you are still texting from a flip phone.Connect to WIFI -you now have the ability to play "wack-a-mole".And the final waste of time and space ALEXA. Great for a home - not a flip phone.By the time you finish pairing Alexa with Lively and use the phrase "Alexa ask Lively too..."She can't text of make calls. Maybe I can use the combo of Alexa/Bluetooth for hands free calling while. driving. Looked at many combos - the answer is NO.This phone was fully charged 4 hrs ago - I have not made a call or done anything except scroll thru screens and the battery is at 91%. I had to put my glasses on to read that.And the promised coverage is 3 bars. I hope one of the perks they added is wifi calling.To wrap it up, I now have to teach my 80 yr old dad how to use this foolish phone so he can call the 7 people in his old "speed dial" list. Going shopping for a new phone. As for Lively - they are not GreatCall. The direct questions I asked where either incorrect or I was sent on a wild goose chase for an answer.I honestly don't mean this to offend anyone but give me the dumb old flip phone back. Anyone interested in the 1/2 ass feature put in this phone would by a simple smart phone.

My grandma is 86 and still very active and is always out and about! She had a lower level smart phone that she absolutely hated and would always leave home without leaving me worried about me or my grandpa getting in touch with her. I surprised her with this phone and knew she’d love the color and it would make her phone easy to find!! SHE LOVES THIS PHONE!!!! Now I have peace of mind because she never goes anywhere without her phone and I get notifications when she leaves her house and gets back home and I can see her location!! My grandma loves the simplicity of the phone and we love that she doesn’t have internet access or apps on the phone so there’s no confusion. The phone was also very easy to set up. I will say with location services it is a bit delayed on updating me when she gets home. For example I spoke to her on the phone when she had just gotten home and then got the location update an hour or two later so it’s not a 100% perfect system. I also got the red carrying belt clip case for her phone and she loves the bright color of it too and that she can discreetly have the phone tucked away
