I actually looked for the Jitterbug phone at first and I was surprised at the cost not of the phone, but of the month to month service was too much for them in terms of price and minutes. I heard about Just5 phone on a few blogs, but I actually couldn’t find it anywhere locally so then it was out. I ended up going with another prepaid senior provider, SVC, that offers a lot of the same features but it was about $15 and the monthly cost was something they could afford. If this goes over well, then I might get them a better “techy” gift next year.

looking for an easy to use cell phone for them, the Just5 Easyphone is also a
very good choice aside from Jitterbug. Essentially, it isn’t only affordable
but it also offers a built-in emergency response system that truly helps in enhancing
the safety of elderly user.
