JITTERBUG PHONes..does anyone use one

Flatbush · ‎07-18-2015

I have an unenviable relation with my Apple phone # 6 and saw an ad for a Jitterbug phone.

Just wondering if it is easy to use, how is the camera in the more expensive models etc. Just any information about the model you have re: your experience will be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you installed all the updates on your iphone 6? That's a very old version of the phone so there could be dozens since you bought it.

I updated my phone last year to the 16Pro. It was worth it to stop having so many issues with my old one. There are a lot of deals on phones at this time of year.

Just a thought.

Many comments on reviews I've read of the current iphone 17 have indicated that lots of folks still find the iphone 13 a great phone. The standard iphone 13 is a bit more than $300 and the iphone 13 mini is less.

I got one of those flip phones and it was so awful to use after being an iPhone user, so I got a iPhone 12. just couldn’t use it, a pain. This was replacing my land line, just for emergency or if I needed to locate my other iPhone 14 ( I’d call it )

Unfortunately, I am the problem not the iPhone.

When I purchased it a few years ago, I thought it would be so similar to my Apple desk top computer that It would be a breeze to use.

I was so naive.

I find it way too complicated,

I do not have the time to devote to learning to use it comfortably.

A device is only as complicated as you make it.

@Flatbush : My first Jitterbug years ago was simple and easy to use. They made so many changes to make everything: "Better" but for me was more difficult and complicated. JMO.

Its been about 5 to 7 years ago my brother had one and when I talked to him his voiced sounded like he was a a metal barrel.

Oh, don't like the sound of this. I am looking for simplicity.
