The Samsung Jitterbug Ideal for Elderly Users
This is the Samsung Jitterbug cell phone that has been designed particularly for elderly phone users. The phone is very simple to use as it comes with some unique features that are specifically aimed at the older user. When comparing this phone to others it has some very simple things indeed, dial tone, padded ear cup, operator assistance, and a simple yes/no interface.
The phone also comes with a voice dialing which is very handy for seniors is they cannot press the buttons on the phone itself. There are two versions of this phone boat with different keypads as you can see from the picture, the phone on the right comes with a simplified keypad with just a couple of options to call. The operator service is only available in the US and allows cellular phone users to make calls to the operator who can then transfer them to a particular number this saves the user having to remember numbers or trying to find them in a phone book on the phone that they may not be capable of using.
The phone also comes with an external volume/ringer control, external caller-ID display, and a silent vibrating alert option. In terms of price it is not the cheapest prepaid cell phone on the markets and sells for around $149 in the US. There obviously is a contract version of the phone available as well which allows you to have operator access for a monthly fee.
