Bought Jitterbug Smart3 phone from Lively, Best Buy for my mother. Had to call a representative to set up 12-6-23. After 2 hours on the phone trying to factory reset it, she said it was defective and would send me a shipping label to send back in 2 days. Called 12-11,23, no shipping label ever sent. They said I would have to send it back (“We never send a shipping label”), restocking $ 10 fee, no money back for $35.00 activation fee, and probably no money for glass protector and case (39.00) fee. Then, it would take 21 days to refund some of my money. What a loss of money, time, and frustration. B

Easy to use for an older person but it takes practice for them to learn!

Excellent phone for seniors, easy to navigate, big screen
user170012 –
Great phone for the money. Simple and easy to use.
livinglife –
I got this for my mother in law , she said she needs bigger buttons and easy to use phone, she came from a candy bar style phone
Benefits – big screen, big buttons, layout is simple
Cons- just like any tech for an 82 year old, just need patience and time to show them how to answer, and dial a number. But she likes it so far, 3 weeks into using it.
user44412 –
Had issues setting up the phone, tried calling customer service for help and they weren’t answering the phone. They ended up sending me a new phone but I still had issues setting up. Took forever to figured it out. But over all it is a great phone for old folks like me. Easy to use. Convenient.

The Lively – Jitterbug Smart 3 Smartphone works well for elderly people. I really like mine, especially because it does have an Urgent Response feature. But it also has a camera, text messaging, internet and several other features.Great

Got this from my mom for Christmas. So that she can have some security when she drives her car.
VirginiaB –
I love my Jitterbug…price was wonderful, rep was the best.
GloryHouse23 –
I don’t know about this devise because I never use this kind of devise before. I bought this cellphone for my father but I didn’t receive it. This item has been returned to the seller for reasons unknown to me.
LostSoul –
The phone is easier to use than the jitterbug 2, except for the airplane mode. It is easier top put the jitterbug 2 in airplane mode than the smart3. most other functions are easy on the smart3.
user523792 –
I chose this phone because it is easy to use and I am quite happy with my decision.
DorothyW –
My first Smartphone and I love it. The manual is clear and easy to use. The phone is so user friendly. I feel like I’ve joined the high tech world.
JerryB –
Phone is great. Easy to use and read. Not complicated at all.
MarciaV –
I got this from my husband who’s computer challenged technology challenged and hearing challenged. It did the trick
CynthiaF –
Overall seems to be a good phone with good customer service
Unknown –
I HAVE SET IT UP BUT HAVE NOT TRIED ALL FEATURE. IT IS FOR MY HUSBAND, WHO HAS LOW VISION. ILIKE THAT THE SCREEN HAS LARGE LETTERS, WHICH I HOPE MAKES IT EASIER FOR HIM TO READ.
RonaldA –
Great for this old man. Had a top brand folding phone with a lot of features I did not need. Jitterbug is easier to use and better for older people.
JoMo –
Great phone for seniors. Easy to make and receive calls and texts. Customer service reps are super friendly and helpful.
MelanieM –
A good phone for Seniors and easy to use. I would recommend to anyone needing a smartphone style.
GRGRAMMY –
Really like the phone not like an old Granny phone not having any problems using it kids always teased me that I needed a Jitterbug because I wasn’t Tech savvy but I haven’t had any problems so far YEA!
Ejcarter –
Good phone for the price. I use it as a back up phone.
ThomasL –
great buy for the price, easy to use, easy to set up, i would buy again, and did i mention the price was right
SAFETY –
I am 83 and partially handicapped and got this smartphone for the “urgent response” feature. One of my problems is w/my hands–they are somewhat handicapped so it is difficult to navigate, Also, I find that the phone itself is too heavy for me and it has all these different functions on it that are entirely unnecessary for me. I paid $50+ to activate the phone and got a person with the worst possible accent and couldn’t understand a word she said. This is my 4th phone as I keep dropping them and this one will probably meet the same fate as it is too heavy.
DonaldB –
It seems to be a good phone. Wasn’t as simple to use as I was lead to believe. I bought it for my handicapped son to use. There are to many steps that need to be made to make a phone call for him to remember.
LawrenceD –
Great service, especially store agent. Met all expectations regarding product and service. Coming back.
user717782 –
Phone works well and parent loves it! Easy to use and great for phone for seniors!!
KnownasGranny –
This phone is amazing!!!!! I am 75 and have not had a phone that I could USE. This came with an instruction book/user guide. I was able to get it going without any problems, and I did it by myself. There are no words to describe how easy it was!!!
DawnH –
We do not like the product it was very difficult to use. Disappointed.
LarryinWC –
It works pretty well for my sister (who talks a lot). But her battery lasted just 2.5 years before charging failed. Some BestBuy staff said they could fix it but it would take a few weeks to get the battery; a new Smart3 cost just a little more. Ultimately Lively staff could import the old phone’s contents. But Google could NOT send a verification text to an old number so the G-mail account is now orphaned.
I would recommend to some friends (especially if tech-UN-savvy) but not all.
CherylM –
Looked the updated features and the prices was absolutely wonderful.
Tribble1701 –
I love this phone. Can get help immediately. This is my first time texting and it’s such a wonderful thing to do. Instant communication!
user973416 –
Purchased for my mother who is in her 80s. So far she has enjoyed and has been able to figure out the features fairly well.
aBestBuycustomer –
the sales dept was great-but-the phone was disappointing it froze( my fault ) up during set-up and on its return to Best Buy the salesman had to unfreeze it if it froze up that easily the elderly person who was to receive it would do worse playing with it i bought a flip to help alleviate confusing for the man but it turned out to be just as bad I am disappointed in the Jitterbug. this does not take in to account the 25 min wait for lively to put a person on the phone or the 2 hangups that occurred
GerardV –
The gentleman who facilitated the exchange of a damaged Jitterbug phone I recently purchased for an elderly resident of a nursing home is someone ownership and management can be extremely proud to serve as the face th public sees.
user537915 –
great device as sellout product,loved the price as to functions satisfied
SandiB –
The phone itself seems to be really easy to use . My only problem is that when I was using an app that I had added, the Google help thing kept popping up and I couldn’t get rid of it.
In the first place I didn’t need help, I couldn’t see the screen with all the “help” and I don’t like Google anyway. I need to call the Jitterbug people for a solution. The phone was on sale and was a really good bargain. I have finally found a phone that I can understand and actually use!
ScottT –
Purchased for my elderly parents. Works pretty well. My complaint is that it’s multiple steps to make a phone call using your contacts which isn’t very “senior” friendly.
ShannaM –
Difficult to use for an iPhone user to jitterbug Ugh.
Crystal –
Great Christmas gift for my mom! Switching from a flip in 2023 was wild but she’s loving it.
GeraldD –
Replaced my wife’s Lively Jitterbug smart 2 with a smart 3 for Christmas and she loves it. The “2” served her well for over 8 years. So it was time for an upgrade. Great phone for seniors. ‘
DianeH –
Great for my 90 year old mom. She had the 2 – we upgraded to the 3 (there’s a 4). Change is hard but moving to a 2 shouldn’t be too hard.
Kenn –
Bought this for my mother in law. She loves it. Very easy for her to use. Has an emergency call button. She lives several hours from us and it gives us and her peace of mind.
TheBestBuyer –
It was a good phone overall. If a senior doesn’t have a phone, this is the phone for them and it cost way cheaper per month than Verizon or at&t.
