  1. BeverlyR

    Excellent phone, easy to use, good audio. Best Buy often has super sales on this one.

  2. MEandCE

    We needed a down-to-earth type phone – A PHONE!! This fits the bill exactly. No passwords or different keys to punch to make a phone call. Just open the case and make a call! Perfect!

  3. KarlN

    This seems a great phone, just don’t buy it at Best Buy.
    I bought the phone for my 90 year old mother. I was able to complete the entire transaction without her input including, I thought, porting the number she has used for 20 years from my T-Mobile account.

    Part of the transaction included providing a Pin code to complete the transaction I told the rep I don’t have a Pin code and asked if she meant my account pin code and she said yes so I entered it. She said the transaction was fine, gave me temp number for the phone, told us the actual number would appear in 24-48 hours and sent us on our way

    48 hours later, the number still had not ported over so I called T-Mobile and found out it’s actually a line porting pin code. No error was generated by Best Buy, Lively or T-Mobile so the request to port didn’t go through.

    I am now back in TN and my 90 year old mother in CA will have to take care of this as I am not on her Lively account. We are in danger of losing the only number her family and friends know.

    Train your people, Best Buy!

  4. WendyT

    This is the perfect phone for my 95 year old father. Very easy to navigate and buttons are large.

  5. AmyK

    Very easy for my 75 year old mother to use. No buttons to push to answer. Just “flip” open and say hello.

  6. SusanS

    Love the big numbers and size for my parents and the emergency button but keeps locking up on them. Maybe it’s a bad phone going to exchange it

  7. MikeyM

    My Mom has been a flip phone user her entire life and was devastated when the 3G deactivation occurred. Since then, her physical and cognitive health has declined.

    I’ve tried every brand of basic flip phone and both smartphone operating systems. I thought for sure that the lively flip phone would work for her.

    The phone’s main menu is customizable and looks pretty simple. The keys are large and backlit. Screen size is excellent and resolution is ok.

    My mom’s primary issue with the phone is that she tries touching the screen instead of using the keys. I already know what you’re thinking… I should get her a smartphone.

    I agree. This is the only issue I have with Lively. They market their products specifically for seniors and the “not-so-tech-savy,” but, they aren’t willing to do any type of swap or trade-in for their smartphone version.

    So, I do recommend the phones they currently sell. Make sure to not only pick the best model for you or your loved one’s preference, but be sure of the return policies. Lively isn’t very philanthropic when it comes to providing the best for its customers’ needs.

  8. Dancemoon

    Great service. My elder mother loves her new phone

  9. Love

    My mother is an older lady with this phone she can call everybody now how lovely, is she

  10. JimmyM

    This is my 2nd Jitterbug phone and this one is much improved.

  11. KathrynT

    My buying experience was outstanding — thank you, Jordan! The phone is exactly what I wanted. I believe they now call them “dumb phones”…suits me fine, I’m into reading and thinking. The only minor issue I have is the battery life. From a full charge, left on, but closed, it only lasts a day. I’ll just have to make sure I have a charger in the car, which is the only time I really need the phone.

  12. PatriciaC

    No idea if I like this phone. The Jitterbug reps haven’t been able to use phone as they can’t transfer my phone from Consumer Cellular to my Jitterbug account which I am paying for

  13. PamS

    After purchasing this phone for my husband who is in a long-term care facility, I found out out that monthly fees from the state are almost the price of a month’s usage fee. If you live on a fixed income and every penny counts, make sure to explore all fees levied by your state before activating.

  14. PaulR

    The phone work great for my mom. It is what my mom need it.

  15. MP307

    This is the second Jitterbug Flip phone I have purchased for my mom. The first one was having hardware issues after two years. I could not get support for determining the issue so just decided to buy a new one as it was on sale. Phone is basic but does enough for her purposes.

  16. camcamz

    Just what I needed. Very nice for the price. My cell phone
    was always having problems. Wanted something that was
    easier to use.

  17. JosephF

    Good service. Best buy was very quick in getting my purchase to me.

  18. CarolV

    It meets our needs given disability. Best buy helped us set it up as well

  19. ReipC

    All functions are easy to use for seniors, My mom is 94 and she likes it.

  20. Easyflip

    Pretty easy to use for a non-techie, and could not beat the price anywhere!!!

  21. ray55

    Great for seniors. I bought this for my 92 year old mom. Easy to use and set up went smoothly.

  22. MichaelS

    This phone was purchased for a family member (parent) who needed just a basic phone for calls and texts. This was a perfect option.

  23. JamesB

    Did not work. Had to be reset every hour or two. Returned phone

  24. bonnie

    Awesome easy to use. Easy to set up. Small enough to put in pocket

  25. TammyM

    Its a good phone for people like me who don’t use all the normal features.

  26. rons

    great purchase, phone suits my senior wifes needs!!

  27. 2024

    Phone is exactly what I needed. Easy to use, easy to set up. Very reasonable price. Great for seniors

  28. user524670Marilyn

    Is easy to operate and that is necessary because my husband has Alzheimer’s

  29. KhaydenJ

    good good good good good good good good good good good good

  30. terrybill

    Needed an easy to use mobile phone without the bells and whistles. This was it. Grandma doesn’t see very well and is a little shaky. It was easy to program the phone for speed dial numbers and she has a large print “menu” of which number calls who to help out. Answering and “hanging up” by simply opening and closing the phone are the intuitive steps she needs. I see some of the older reviews calling out the lack of these features so Lively must be listening. She’ll never use it to take a picture or exchange a text so can’t speak to that. Phone and plan was easy to get set up and get connected and economical. Met our needs.

  31. ETR77

    Simple phone. Works well. Good for older people. Recommended.

  32. JudyW

    Good for seniors that need larger numbers, letters on screen. Does the job.

  33. MarlettaH

    Great phone for seniors. Options are easy to use. The red star urgent need service is an excellent way to help seniors.

  34. Nancy

    Have not use it very long, but it is very easy for the elderly to use. Lively who activated the phone customer service are the best.

  35. Granny

    The jitterbug phone was purchased for my mother-in-law. It has performed nicely. The numbers are large and the ringtone is great and has a good loud sound. It is perfect for the price.

  36. JohniJ

    I got this phone for my Mother, i programed it for her, it was an easy setup, Mom really likes it alot, easy for her use, your associate was very helpful also, I want to thank all that was involved, Sincerely JJ

  37. user569930

    Great for a senior phone. I bought this for my mom and works great. The monthly service is a little costly for what it is.

  38. TrulahC

    Phone was a “rinky-dink type system. Would work like instruction said some of the time and not other times. When my friends found out I was trying to use the system, they would discourage me because their elderly friend/family wasn’t a bit pleased and would end up taking the phone back. I couldn’t count on it to work ALL the time.

  39. Cocoa

    Got mine in Red and easy to use and locate, Great.

  40. Mrcaniac

    Mother in law loves the big numbers and the large screen

  41. VincentD

    Need a health phone & this is a great help. easy to carry

  42. RobertG

    Great phone for seniors. My grandmother can actually use this phone

  43. ClarkG

    Hate the way you have to text, the phone ringer isn’t loud enough. can hardly hear it. other than that it works ok. and the fact I lost it already.

  44. Samsung1

    perfect for elderly or special needs! Nice big buttons and easy to use!

  45. Doc77

    You won’t regret buying this phone. It’s very user friendly and the quality is superb…

  46. user190072

    Bought for my 90 year old in laws. Very simple to use. They love it!

  47. ForAlwhoalwayslosesphones

    My Father needed a phone. This can be a challenge at his age. But the Staff at Best buy stepped in!!
    Thank you for you beautiful kind service and the new phone for Dad!!

  48. Gigi

    Bought phone for my father, love the size of buttons but wish phone would be easier to make a simple phone call. Yes you can have contacts on speed dial, however not everyone in your contacts will be out on speed dial. When you select a contact you have to press ok like 4 times before you can place the call. Other than that phone works good and volume a great as well.

  49. GingerH

    This is a phone my husband uses . It is simple to use and lets him keep in toch with family..

  50. BradR

    Requires reboot at times to make phone calls! Otherwise it is okay for the price.
