Title: Beyond normal customer support
Review: I purchased the Jethro package for my father 6 months ago. My father illness make him very confused and he called customer service thinking he was calling me. Customer Service then called ME and told me my father was trying to reach me. Another company might simple hang up the phone and let my father try again to reach me. I called him immediately and felt much better speaking with me. I HIGHLY recommend JETHRO for any family that needs a high customer service low cost carrier with a phone that a senior can use. Pedro (Ivan) D was a great help and asset to Jethro!
