When I opened my first wireless store near Sun City Hilton Head, a 55+ community, everyday I would get two or three request for Jitterbug Phones. I had to turn them away or put them into a phone that was often more complicated or costly than they needed. It didn’t used to be this way. In the 90′s when I first started selling wireless services all of the phones were big and the carriers always offered “Safety and Security” plans around the $10-15 price point. Over time the cheap plans were eliminated and now most wireless carriers average $55 per month per line. This price point can put a strain on people on a fixed income and the fancy gadgets available now can cause frustration and reluctance to carry a phone. Jitterbug plans start at $14.99 per month with 50 nationwide minutes included, they also allow you to roll over your minutes for up to 60 days. That’s about $500 less per year than the average wireless plan, perfect for someone on a fixed income.
The draw of the Jitterbug phones was originally a simple phone, with big buttons and a readible screen. They still have that, now they also offer affordable price points for just about any budget as well as nationwide coverage. Jitterbug has added applications and services to compliment their basic phone service: Check In Calls, Medicine Reminders with Pharmacy Refills, 24/7 access to Live Nurses. They have also rolled out their 5Star Urgent Response service to the Jitterbug phones. This allows you to transform your Jitterbug to a personal safety device!
For $14.95 per month you can have Nationwide Wireless GPS enabled Emergency Response via Certified Agents at the push of a button. They also offer a standalone responder the size of a key chain.
If you are looking to eliminate your landline they have “Simply Unlimited” Plans currently running $79.99 per month, these plans include Nationwide Coverage, Unlimited Calling and Unlimited Texting as well as some of their additional apps bundled in.
With Nationwide Coverage, Simple to use phones and advanced health and wellness applications Jitterbug could be an affordable safety and security solution for you or your loved ones.
