She loves the red color which was $31 cheaper than the graphite phone.
works great, color and light is good for old eyes, The photos are very good.
The color is crisp and shiny, the screen is bigger (one of my favorite features), the buttons are bigger, which makes them easy to see, and the volume and speaker phone is louder(which is great for Seniors).
Wanted a bright color (red) so it would be easier for him to find it if lost or misplaced.
I can see if she was to use text, it would have been easy to use as well [but Grandmother gets what Grandmother wants].Also, Grandma loves the red color
For a phone for elders with the few critical features they need, this is perfect.
It would be great if they would incorporate a vibrate feature so if my grandfather does not hear it ring (he also has some hearing loss) then at least he could feel it vibrate when it rang
The phone looks great works great has great features, but the keys sticjk all of the time

The Great Call customer service does an awesome job, very supportive and accommodating

She has fallen a few times, I like that she has a service to call for help

First, it uses the Verizon network through Great Call, which would not be a problem if her home was not in a Verizon dead zone
Oh and its not the weak verizon network, its the device.
so I waited an hour and called GreatCall, only to find port request was rejected (Verizon account number didn't match)
Ultra loud Ring-Tone that turns itself on & plays over & over again without any Call coming in, (4) Our CALLS repeatedly INTERCEPTED by odd VERIZON message:
But, none of us could get it to work on a consistent basis - sometimes it works most often it does not.
She is very hard of hearing, but does quite well with this phone
I was concerned that the phone didn't have a lanyard loop hole, but it does on the corner.
Great phone, bought it for my wife who is technically challenged ( does not like anything more complex than a light switch ) was easy to set up and she has no problems using when she needs to.
Overrated bought for my father-in-law who does not hear well volume inadequate, ringer inadequate
So if cell phones don't work at your home or you have spotty coverage at your home, this phone is not likely to work for you and that means the 5Star Urgent Response Emergency Service will not work either
The Jitterbug Flip is an effective and easy to use phone for use with the 5Star Urgent Response service
She was always complaining about the size of her previous cell phone’s
Extremely easy to use; enough volume for her hearing aids; large buttons; easy to read display; quick friendly response from the alert service; and very reasonable cost.
It comes with a 5 Star urgent response button for emergency, recent news suggests that the operators can also call a Lyft ride for the
It has a loud annoying dial tone that cannot be adjusted
Every button you push emits a tone which is an embarrassment in public, and just plain annoying otherwise.

Bluetooth is crap, no vibrate and annoying dial tone when you open up the phone
There are some add on services available like Urgent Care (24/7 access to registered nurses and doctors), MedCoach (reminders to pick up prescriptions and take medication), and Check-in Call (an automated phone call up to six times a day to check up on the senior)
no other informationNo real keyboard for text messages, you must hit number keys multiple times to enter lettersPhotos cannot be sorted; they are always in the order takenGood things about 5Star Service:Urgent Care; access to nurses and doctorsMedCoach as a reminder to take medicinesCheck in call that notifies family/friend if there is a problem
The up and down buttons scroll through the entries, and two preset entries are for "Urgent Care" and "Health and Wellness Alert"
This one is amazing!All the amenities such as the 5Star service, which connects me to a highly trained agent to help with emergencies, Urgent Care which gives me unlimited access to RN's and Doctors 24-7, and prescription refill reminders, for me makes this the best flip phone I ever had!!
I did get the package with the urgent care notifications, and I an able to see where her and the phone are anytime.
