The Samsung Jitterbug Plus from GreatCall is the best simple phone there is, with plenty of easy-to-use advanced features that set it apart from the pack.

GreatCall’s services can offer peace of mind to seniors and family members, and though some things could improved, overall, I found the Jitterbug Plus to be a well-designed and solid-performing handset that simplifies the cellphone experience for the older set.

The Jitterbug Plus is meant for a very specific audience--one that I’m not yet a member of--so reviewing a product like this can be difficult ... GreatCall has done an excellent job of creating a phone that is both easy to use and full-featured, packed into a modern design.

Though the senior-aimed Jitterbug Plus is easy to use and has good call quality, it's overpriced for its low-end features.

The jitterbug is a must have for people who don’t want to deal with the complications of smartphones or have technophobia. I passed the test unit around to some of my contemporaries and their comments were very positive. ... It’s a great way to insure that Seniors in your family are safe.
