Title: Very easy to set up, senior friendly!
Review: This phone is good quality and easy to set up. You have to have a Lively account, It can't work with any other carrier. This is a replacement phone for my mom. Her original has lasted over 5 years, it is only replaced because the buttons were wearing out and hard to push after so many years. This new phone is almost identical to old one.

Title: Well Made, Long Battery Life and Good Sound
Review: I also own a regular Android Smart Phone. I like to have two. I use the Jitterbug when I go for walks around the lake since it is more compact. The camera is very good too. I really like the 5 Star emergency feature on the phone. In an emergency they can track your exact location. They have all my medical history if necessary to use. Sound quality is good and volume loud. I am tech savy so this phone is not hard for me to use. That said, this is not a phone for an elderly person who is not at all tech savy. Too complex in that it asks for a Yes of No press many times and the forward and back buttons would definitely confuse my elderly mother. Not to imply that older people cannot be tech savy, but if they are not too much into modern technology then this is not the phone for them. The emergency 5 Star feature, however, may override the complexity of the other features.

Title: volume level keeps shifting
Review: Good but not Great. The user interface tries to do too many things: take pictures, videos, do text messages, check voice mail, check missed calls . . . Seniors need a phone that does one thing GREAT (make phone calls) and move everything else to the back burner, still available, but buried away in the menus for savy Seniors who feel like exploring bonus features. There are so many things they could have done to make phone calling easier. This is actually better than other flip phones, but not as much as hoped for. I'd suggest they make the call menu top priority for the phone, scroll down and have the contact names right there, then press okay and it immediately calls that contact. To do anything else should require navigating through the MENU which could be at the top, right above all the contact names. Easy, problem solved, and many more aging seniors would be able to use it.----EDIT---- My mother is constantly accidentally turning the volume down (pressing the buttons on the side) and then saying things like "I can't hear you I can't hear you I can't hear you" and has difficulty figuring out she needs to turn the volume back up. subtracting another star. surprisingly difficult for her to use this phone---REEDIT -- this is an AWFUL PHONE, Mom and I can't figure out how to adjust the ringer volumn up, I tried to talk to her on another phone telling her which button to press, the volumn button on the side that the manual clearly specifies, didn't work, she actually got it to drop down to silent. 0 stars now, if can't figure it out will have to cancel---Re-REedit 3rd time -- Mom still can't figure out how to adjust the ringer volume. It arbitrarily gets set to Ringer-OFF (I suspect from hitting the side buttons by accident) then the phone does't ring and she doesn't answer it, and when she tries to adjust the volumn while I'm on the phone with her, when I tell her how, she adjusts the Conversation-Volume. The folks at Jitterbug need to get a phone design that's not prone to senior citizens accidently pressing the ringer volume to OFF. It's more than a head-ache, it causes her to NOT HEAR THE PHONE RING. sure, young folks can figure out what's going on, and try not to do it again, but elderly seniors don't learn from past mistakes and cant figure things out easily. I have to give this phone an F rating, bad design of ringer volume and conversation volume on the side, too easy to accidentally press. okay for seniors with sharp minds, and elderly . . . but folks, this is a "jitterbug" F

Title: Easy to use
Review: It's a low-cost phone with good features. The screen is not cluttered with junk, and there is 24/7 live support. I like it so far. It comes with a charging stand, but it can also be charged directly to the phone.

Title: Hello!
Review: Bought for my 83yo father who can’t use a smart phone. This is second lively phone as the first one just quit ringing which from Troubleshooting & research found out that it is problematic with this style phone. My father loves it because of it ease of use.

Title: Alexa works but is hard to set up, calling is awkward
Review: We got this for my 89 year old father in law because a smartphone is way too error prone for him. Even if he were to use Siri to dial, if he touched the screen he would be in trouble. He has AMD so he only has peripheral vision and can’t see well enough to work through any menus or a contact list, even with the large font on this phone.He flips the phone open to answer, puts it to his ear, and flips it closed to hang up. He knows how to do that, and it is reliable that way!Hidden in the accessibility settings in the phone is a handy one to lock the exterior buttons so he can’t accidentally turn the ringer volume down.We also liked that this has Alexa capability so he might be able to use dial by voice on top of the flip phone practicality.Unfortunately Amazon and Lively aren’t friendly enough to have a seamless integration of Alexa with the phone. It’s hard to set up and the results leave something to be desired.First you have to link your Lively and Amazon accounts which is understandable, but then you have to add the Lively ‘skill’ to Alexa on this device.The big disappointment is that even after jumping through the hoops to successfully set it up you can’t say, “Alexa, call Tommy.” You have to say, “Alexa, ask Lively to call Tommy.” My father in law is having the darnedest time remembering that or even pronouncing the new words for him “Alexa”, “ask”, and “Lively.” You can’t deviate, you have to nail it! Apparently he never uses the word ask it’s always tell, and Alexa was an obscure name in 1945 but Alexis was fairly popular!If we could get it to call me when he says, “Alexis, call Tommy” or even, “Alexis, tell your buddy to call Tommy” that would be great.

Title: So far so good
Review: I bought this for my bedridden mother-in-law to use in her nursing home. She finds it very easy to answer and hang up. Service seems good. A little tough for an elderly person to figure out how to make a call, but that's ok, we just mostly wanted to be able to call her. All in all, a good buy so far.
