As the population ages there are many reasons that make accessible cell phones an important part of the technological world. Not only are they useful to the elderly and to the Blind, but they can be helpful for those that are hard of hearing, quadriplegic or physically disabled.

Seniors with sight problems, or those that have problems deciphering the buttons on a phone, can take advantage of these easy cell phones to get the same use. With a senior cell phone, an elderly person in a precarious situation can instantly explain their situation and where they are, so help will come prepared and arrive to the right location as quickly as possible.

These simple cellular devices have big buttons that can be programmed with the essential phone numbers, so there will be no worry about how to use them in emergencies.

Jitterbug cell phones feature:

Bigger, backlit buttons.

Bright, large text.

Powerful speaker sounds that are loud and clear.

24-hour Jitterbug operators can make calls for you and provide directory assistance. Service starts at $10 a month. No long distance or roaming fees and no contracts.
