Jitterbug Flip2 Cell Phone for Seniors Gray

Product Information

I wear a medium normally but bought a large to ensure a loose fit(I sew, so can easily take them in, if needed). If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Some dementia friendly mobile phones may have larger or fewer buttons of different functions from a regular mobile phone or smartphone. Conversely, if you’re happy with a lifestyle that features a smartphone at its center, there’s certainly no need for a second flip phone.

JustAnswer is not intended or designed for EMERGENCY questions which should be directed immediately by telephone or in-person to qualified professionals. The tiny outer display might seem superfluous, but it allows the Flip to double as a bedside clock when it’s on its accompanying charger, and it doesn’t impact negatively on the battery life. However, the per-use fees, as well as the monthly charges for other health and safety features, can quickly add up. Adjusting the size of the text or tidying up contacts to ensure only the essentials are easy to access can prevent the phone from becoming overwhelming. But if you use only a flip phone you obviously lose the convenience of paying for things with your phone.The GPS technology inherent in the phone can relay its geographic locale, so when help arrives they should locate you quickly.

The Gabb Z2 Phone was originally designed for children, but it could easily be used by an older adult who wants simple features and spam blocking—and doesn’t want internet or social media capabilities. The Alcatel Go Flip 4 provides above-average talk and standby time, along with 4GB of storage space for music and photos that can be boosted up to 32GB via a separate microSD card. When the 5Star button is pressed, it uses both GPS and Wi-Fi (if near a Wi-Fi network) to provide location to the emergency response agent. The Apple iPhone 14 Pro has all the health, safety, and accessibility features that we love in our top pick, the iPhone 14 Plus, along with an additional telephoto lens that enhances an already excellent camera. That said, the Flip cannot connect to Wi-Fi otherwise, but Verizon has excellent coverage across the US.And a conversation-boost feature helps eliminate background noise—which is important for anyone, including those who use hearing aids or who may have hearing loss. I suffered 2 CVAs/strokes; by chance a neighbor found me as he was walking by and my occupational therapist found me because I had an appointment.
