When was the last time you received a call from an elderly relative from their brand new, high-tech cellular phone? Probably never, right? The reason may be that their once nimble and flexible fingers are now stiff with arthritis, and their once 20/20 vision is merely a fraction of what it used to be. Cellular phones are practically impossible for a senior to navigate.
Let’s face facts, the newest and grandest of most electronic or technical gadgets have not been developed with the elderly in mind… until now. A plethora of fantastic new products for the elderly are now available in a variety of markets. Not only are some companies changing the way their products look and work, but they’re also making them affordable, which will enable seniors on the tightest of budgets to purchase products that are functional and fun!
One of the most popular new products made just for the elderly is Samsung’s Jitterbug. It’s a cell phone with big buttons, a bright screen with large text, and a powerful speaker that makes sounds loud and clear. Another amazing feature is the ability to dial “0” to reach Jitterbug’s live, 24-hour operator who can make calls for you, provide directory assistance and add names to your pre-programmed 50-person phone list.
Using the Jitterbug won’t cost a small fortune, either. There are no contracts, no cancellation fees, no roaming charges—just a $35 activation fee and plans start at just $10 a month. For more information, visit www.jitterbug.com.
This just in: Samsung has just released a new model of the Jitterbug. It has no keypad! Instead, the user just presses the "Operator" button and the operator places the call for the user.
