I used the Jitterbug this morning for the first time to call Great Call Customer Svc. My old phone # had been ported to the new phone, but it wasn't showing up on the J'bug screen. A feature of this phone is that when you open it your phone number is displayed across the top of the screen.
For the third time I have called Customer Svc I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly everything was handled, as well as the friendliness of the agent on the other end of the call.
At one point she asked me if I had another phone I could take her call on, and she called me on my land line and instructed me to close the J'Bug. Then I opened the J'bug again and voila, the correct number was displayed.
One thing that became immediately apparent to me when I took the agent's call on my land line after speaking to her on the cell phone, was the quality of sound on the J'bug. It was crystal clear and loud enough for me to hear perfectly with no distortion, no static. My land line didn't seem as clear, although it still beats any other cell phone I've tried up to my new one. I think I'm going to love it, if I can remember to keep it charged and turned on, and where I can find it.
Later I came in from working in the yard to find I had a new message on my voice mail. I can use voice commands as well as the keys to make selections, delete, save, etc. It is convenient to be able to say "Delete", "Yes", "No", etc., rather than have to look at the keys to make a selection. I'm sure I'll be finding out more about this phone in the coming days, but so far I'd give it a Thumbs Up!

The Jitterbug phone was delivered today. It is a beautiful red phone, and is just perfect for me as far as size, weight, and number & control buttons are concerned. I activated it online, which took some time but the prompts were simple and...
- Update On New Cell Phone
My Tracfone expires at the end of today and my new Jitterbug phone hasn't arrived, so I called GreatCall (The Jitterbug company) to find out what they could tell me. A great customer service person checked with UPS and said the phone won't...
