Studies show that while most seniors aged over 65 are eager to learn more about modern gadgets, they have issues adapting. Seniors would complain of a lack of instructions and clarity.<\/p>\n<p>The right approach here is to opt for more straightforward, easy-to-understand gadgets. Modern smartphones by major brands such as Apple and Samsung are already quite user-interface friendly and straightforward. However, some seniors may still have difficulty mastering them.<\/p>\n<p>Facing such difficulty has paved the way to the birth of the Jitterbug. It\u2019s a mobile phone made specifically for older adults. The device has a large screen, big and readable font options, great battery life, and a straightforward software program. Even seniors who have no prior experience with technology should be able to use the Jitterbug daily with ease.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_57_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\" role=\"button\"><label for=\"item-655dee7224185\" ><span class=\"\"><span style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input aria-label=\"Toggle\" aria-label=\"item-655dee7224185\"  type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item-655dee7224185\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/technonguide.com\/jitterbug-phone-for-elders\/#What_is_the_Jitterbug_Phone\" title=\"What is the Jitterbug Phone?\">What is the Jitterbug Phone?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/technonguide.com\/jitterbug-phone-for-elders\/#Jitterbug_Flip_VS_Jitterbug_Smart_2\" title=\"Jitterbug Flip V.S.

The original flip phone model was introduced in 2006 as a senior-friendly alternative to mobile phones and gadgets that are difficult to use.<\/p>\n<p>It had a large screen, soft keypad, easy interface, readable fonts, and loudspeakers. Simply put, the Jitterbug was born out of the need for simpler mobile phones seniors can use.<\/p>\n<p>Jitterbug is ideal for those who want to provide their aging loved one with a medical alert system that can be used outside of emergencies. It\u2019s a device that connects them with the world. Apart from sending distress signals during emergencies, the Jitterbug also functions as a normal mobile phone\u2014just easier to use.<\/p>\n<p>To date, GreatCall has around one million subscribers. They remain to be the top mobile phone service providers for aging adults.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jitterbug_Flip_VS_Jitterbug_Smart_2\"><\/span>Jitterbug Flip V.S. Jitterbug Smart 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GreatCall offers two Jitterbug models: Jitterbug Flip and Jitterbug Smart2. Keep reading for a more in-depth analysis between the two so you can make a grounded, fact-based decision on which would best suit your aging loved one:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jitterbug_Flip\"><\/span>Jitterbug Flip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is the original Jitterbug model that GreatCall introduced back in 2006. It might be an older model, but many seniors still use it for its simplicity. It features a:<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Large_Screen\"><\/span>Large Screen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Many seniors complained that texts were too hard to read because first-generation flip phones had relatively small screens and generic font options. GreatCall resolved this by equipping the Jitterbug Flip with a much larger, brighter screen. Users also had the option of customizing the text fonts to something they feel is easier to read.<\/p>\n<p>Large screens and readable fonts are a must if you\u2019re looking at mobile device options for your aging loved one. Navigating through a phone is impossible if one can\u2019t even see the screen clearly. Plus, a small screen is very strenuous to the eyes.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Soft_Backlit_Keypad\"><\/span>Soft, Backlit Keypad<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Old flip phones had a touch keypad. You\u2019d have to press down on the keys relatively hard for the text to register.<\/p>\n<p>For teens and young adults, this didn\u2019t seem to be an issue. At most, it was just a minor inconvenience and not something they wouldn\u2019t be able to adapt to. However, for seniors with complications such as carpal tunnel syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis, a tough and hard-to-press keypad could lead to the worsening of their condition.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why GreatCall made the Jitterbug Flip\u2019s pad as soft and easy to use as possible. The goal was to minimize the stress on the wrists. Plus, the keypad had a backlight so seniors with poor eyesight won\u2019t have trouble typing even under dim lighting.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customized_Button_Set\"><\/span>Customized Button Set<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The Jitterbug Flip featured a unique, one-of-a-kind keypad with additional buttons on its keypad for user convenience. The extra buttons included were the:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Yes\/No Button: <\/strong>Users can easily make simple text decisions using the customized yes\/no buttons on the keypad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>On\/Off Button:<\/strong> There\u2019s no need for your aging loved one to consult with you every time something mysteriously turns on or off on their phone. At the press of a button, they can reset the phone to the preferred settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>5Star Service Button: <\/strong>This is perhaps the most useful keypad function on the Jitterbug Flip. It\u2019s a customized button that directly connects the user to a GreatCall operator tasked to assist with emergency situations. They can help dispatch firefighters and paramedics, among others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jitterbug_Smart2\"><\/span>Jitterbug Smart2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>GreatCall introduced the Jitterbug Smart2 as the senior-friendly alternative to modern smartphone devices such as Android and Apple. This handheld device functions exactly like any smartphone. It features a:<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Large_Screen_With_Backlight\"><\/span>Large Screen With Backlight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The Jitterbug Smart2 has a wide, backlit screen with multiple customizable font options. This is ideal for users with sensitive eyes as they can easily adjust the screen brightness and the font style and size to suit their specific needs.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Voice_Command_Function\"><\/span>Voice Command Function<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The voice command function on the Jitterbug Smart2 is very responsive and can be used to launch certain applications, make Google search queries, or even send text messages. That way, users with dexterity issues won\u2019t have to type as much anymore.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video_Chat_Function\"><\/span>Video Chat Function<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Jitterbug Smart2 allows users to video call their friends, families, and various loved ones any time they want. These types of video chat applications are very beneficial especially for seniors with mobility issues who can no longer go out and visit their relatives as easily as they used to.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Internet_Access\"><\/span>Internet Access<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The Jitterbug Smart2 has a senior-friendly interface that allows even first-time users to explore the internet. It\u2019s not as confusing as other smartphones and only offers basic services.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Social_Media_Access\"><\/span>Social Media Access<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Initially, the Jitterbug Smart2 didn\u2019t offer social media access. The device allowed users to surf the internet, but the software cannot accommodate social media applications. This was done to make the interface as easy to use as possible.<\/p>\n<p>However, GreatCall had to upgrade the system as the demand for social media access via their Jitterbug devices increased. More and more seniors are signing up for social media platforms. In fact, reports say that the number of users aged 65 to 74 on social media has nearly tripled in the past five years alone!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Using_the_Jitterbug\"><\/span>Benefits of Using the Jitterbug<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Senior-Friendly_Features\"><\/span>1. Senior-Friendly Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What sets the Jitterbug apart from any other smartphone on the market is its unique, senior-friendly design customized to suit the needs of the elderly. Some of its key features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Large Screen: <\/strong>Those with poor eyesight won\u2019t have to worry because the Jitterbug comes with a large screen and big, readable font options. You can further customize these in the settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simple Interface: <\/strong>The Jitterbug has a much simpler interface as compared to other smartphone options. It\u2019s effortless to understand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Loud Ringtone:<\/strong> No need to worry about missed messages or calls because Jitterbug phones have a loud set of speakers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long Battery Life: <\/strong>Seniors can\u2019t be bothered to charge their phones while they\u2019re out of the house, so they need a handheld device efficient enough to last the whole day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Long-Distance_Communication\"><\/span>2. Long-Distance Communication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many adults fail to consider how lonely things are for seniors who live alone. This especially applies to widows and widowers with no one to talk to and are left with their solitary thoughts. The idle mind leaves one vulnerable to negative thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you don\u2019t necessarily have to live with your parents again. At least make an effort, however, to alleviate some of the day-to-day loneliness they feel, and you can do so by giving them a Jitterbug.<\/p>\n<p>Basic Jitterbug models are capable of standard call and text services. More modern variants, on the other hand, feature internet-based services such as GPS, e-mail, and video call applications.<\/p>\n<p>Giving your aging loved ones the ability to connect with friends and relatives is a very wonderful gift. Sometimes, all they really need is someone to talk to and share stories with.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Medication_Reminders_and_Assistance\"><\/span>3. Medication Reminders and Assistance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that one\u2019s memory dulls as he\/she ages. That\u2019s why many seniors often forget to buy or take their medicine, especially if they live alone and no one\u2019s there to help remind them.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, the Jitterbug can easily resolve this. The device comes with a specialized medication management application that reminds users when it\u2019s time to take their medicine or if they have to purchase a new batch already. Users can also consult with their doctor through the Jitterbug.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Medical_Alert_System_Features\"><\/span>4. Medical Alert System Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>More and more seniors are now choosing to live alone. It\u2019s more cost-efficient and liberating as compared to staying at a senior care facility. The biggest trade-off, however, is that aging in place increases the risk of serious injuries and death during medical emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike with a senior care facility, there\u2019s no 24-hour care team to monitor your aging loved one. This means that if a problem occurs, it\u2019s up to them to request the necessary help and assistance\u2014which, trust us, is a very big challenge for elderly individuals having a medical emergency.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure the safety of your aging loved ones, we encourage getting them a Jitterbug. This device allows them to send a distress signal and request an ambulance no matter where they are or what time it is. Remember: urgent assistance can spell the difference between life and death during emergencies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Daily_Fitness_Tracking\"><\/span>5. Daily Fitness Tracking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Jitterbug smartphones are equipped with fitness tracking applications elders can use to record daily physical activities. The most basic feature is the pedometer. It allows one to count the number of steps he\/she takes, measure distance traveled, and estimate the number of calories burned during specific activities.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a more in-depth analysis, look for more modern options. Ideally, one that can sync with a fitness watch and track your sleeping pattern, calorie intake, blood pressure, and heart rate.<\/p>\n<p>These are very good features for those prescribed to follow a specific fitness regimen. Remember: keeping track of daily progress is a solid, efficient way to stay committed to one\u2019s exercise routine and diet plan.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_Resources\"><\/span>Additional Resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seniorstrong.org\/jitterbug-smartphone\/\">Getting started using a Jitterbug<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This comprehensive, unbiased guide by Senior Strong is perfect for readers who may still be on the fence on whether they or their aging loved ones would benefit from a Jitterbug.
