Want a cell phone that’s just a phone? Your choice is simple.

Staying connected is easy with my Jitterbug^®!

All my friends — and my kids — have new cell phones. They carry them around with them all day, like mini computers, with little tiny keyboards  and hundreds of programs which are supposed to make their life easier.

Trouble is…people my age can’t use them. The keyboards are too small, the displays are hard to see, and the phones are so complicated that my friends end up borrowing my Jitterbug when they need to make a call.

I don’t mind. I just got a new phone too…the new Jitterbug Plus. Now I have all the things I loved about my old Jitterbug phone along with some great new features that make it even better!

They made it even better…without making it harder to use.

My new Jitterbug phone still has the bright screen and big buttons that make it easy to use. And it still has a dial tone so I know when I make a call.

I love the new amplified speaker. I can enjoy a conversation without struggling to make out every word. Even my friends that talk so quietly you’d think they’re whispering come through loud and clear.

The new camera is a convenient addition that I didn’t think I’d use at first. It helps me remember things I see that are interesting and I can share them with a touch of a button. Sure beats carrying around a separate camera everywhere like I’m a tourist.

Best of all, the new battery seems like it lasts forever! My friends are constantly looking to plug their phones in to recharge their batteries. I can go for days or even a couple of weeks without plugging it in.
