Jitterbug Flip2 Cell Phone for Seniors Gray

Product Information

What sets this device apart from others is that a service contract isn’t mandatory, and it is possible to use it without one.

With the Care Advocate service, Jitterbug Smart4 users can be connected with what Lively calls “Care Advocates.” Personally, from my experience, I’d call them “senior care coaches.” Care Advocate: With the Care Advocate service, Jitterbug Smart4 users can be connected with what Lively calls “Care Advocates.” Personally, from my experience, I’d call them “senior care coaches.” These professionals will conduct an initial screening and help the user create a “Care Plan” encompassing health, financial planning, and personal care. LTE becomes the Jitterbug Flip2’s main network. It is a default network that offers stable and fast connections. The other connectivity available on this phone is Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and A-GPS. Geo-fencing: This is the ability to set a perimeter and receive a call if the person wanders outside that area. It’s particularly useful for people with dementia.Remember, despite the Smart4’s simplified design, it’s a fully featured Android phone. This means that it can use any app available on the Google Play Store, including Facebook, Google Maps, TikTok, WhatsApp, and Gmail, among others. Using the Jitterbug Smart4 to watch TheSeniorList's YouTube channel. Note: This phone is a flip phone, and differs from the Jitterbug Smart which is a Smartphone. On the Jitterbug Smart you access emergency responder through an App rather than a real button. These don’t recall a landline connected base station to work, as they each have mobile phone electronics that connect via the AT&T network.

In my tests, this Urgent Response feature worked exceptionally well. Each of my emergency calls was answered in roughly thirty seconds, which is on par with other medical alert systems. However, inside this is Android and has all the sorts of features you might expect from a phone that first appeared in 2016. Like the Jitterbug Smart2, also by Greatcall, the Jitterbug Flip is a repurposed phone design with some minor aesthetic modifications and a more significant interface overhaul. There are two main choices here: traditional buttons and touchscreen. Voice activation is also available.One of the greatest motivations to get off the flip phone is the horrible steps required to send a text message. For example, you have to tap the number “2” key THREE TIMES to send the letter “C” !! And, family members seem to love sending texts to their elderly parents!

I have seen some current models that try to offer icons on a non-touch screen using a very simple interface, but I think the most appealing to someone already using a flip phone would be a simple list of functions on the screen.The camera is surprisingly decent, considering it's only a 2-megapixel sensor. It takes clear, reasonably detailed pictures in well-lit environments, though in lower-light settings images become muddy. Digital zoom is available in a separate Magnifier app, and allows for 5x zoom.

While the Jitterbug Flip doesn’t require an eight-core CPU or the internals of an iPhone 11, it could be dramatically improved with better hardware than the existing platform offers.Different from most other flip phones, the Jitterbug Flip2 has two setup cameras; front and rear cameras. The rear camera is placed on the external area above the secondary screen. It has an 8MP resolution. Below it, there is an additional LED flash to help users capture in low light. With this, you can expect to record a MPEG 4 video. In addition to the phone and service options, Lively also offers additional hardware options for the Jitterbug Flip2. Here’s a closer look at these handy add-ons.
