jitterbug
Have you heard of the phone called Jitterbug that is aimed at seniors? I think it would come in handy for Mom, who sometimes doesn’t hear her phone, or for dad who has trouble reading the little numbers on his phone… There are a few different models to choose from. There is one that has only three buttons on it for emergency calls. There is also a model that has all the numbers but they are just bigger than the usual numbers on a cell phone. The service plans for the Jitterbug start at $20.00 a month and go up to around $80.00 depending on how many minutes you will use. There are also plans for people who only want the phone for emergencies. The phones themselves are $147.00. Matt’s grandmothers have both passed, but I know they would have benefited for a phone like this several years ago. There is a lanyard available as an accessory so you can actually wear the phone around your neck. It would be really nice for an elderly person who lives alone. They would have access to medical help or emergency care at all times. Do you know anyone who would benefit from having a Jitterbug phone?
