Jitterbug

If you’re searching for cheap cell phone plans for seniors you may want to consider Jitterbug. Jitterbug cell phones are very basic and easy to use with large backlit buttons, simple navigation and an easy to read screen. They were made for people who just want a simple headset without complication or extra features. Because they are often marketed toward seniors they also have additional services you can add to their plans that fit this demographic, like LiveNurse and Urgent Response.

Jitterbug prepaid cell phone plans are also pretty simple. They offer four different plans starting with basic voice with 50 anytime minutes, stepping up to an unlimited plan that offers both unlimited voice and text. Their higher-level plans can be turned into family plans with free mobile-to-mobile calling for members within the plan.

Jitterbug has good coverage area and their signature senior cell phone, which is a benefit for people looking for this, but this isn’t one of the cheapest prepaid cell phones available. The per minute cost is higher than many other prepaid or pay as you go wireless service providers, but they do offer some unique features and added services.

For those who are intimidated by it, the right senior cell phone can help provide their children with peace of mind that their parents can get a hold of them in an emergency situation. After all a cell phone isn’t much good if the person feels uncomfortable using it.

Luckily there are a few companies who realized there was a need for easy-to-use headsets that offer features like large, easy-to-use buttons, larger screen text and clear, loud sound. Some of them even offer an emergency feature that helps the cell phone user quickly start auto calling a pre-set list of phone numbers in the case of an emergency. There are a few different companies that offer senior friendly cell phones and plans, some of which are pretty cheap. Here is a list of the most common options along with their price and basic features.
