Cell phones for oldies

Most of our oldies can not use cell phones of their own. There is a need for them to be taught of the features a cell phone has.

My mother-in-law own one but still prefers to use her landline. I remember the last time I was with her and somebody was calling her cell phone. The phone kept on ringing waiting for her to press the answer button. She had like three or more missed calls. I wondered why she's not doing anything that time. She just let her phone rang. I asked her why and she said she doesn't know what to do or press. So I taught her to press a key and she was able to received the call. It was a lil bit funny but I hid my emotion. I don't want her to get embarrassed.

Now there is a cell phone available for our oldies. The phones' features really suit their needs. Cell phones from Jitterbug are so easy, helpful and very affordable. Features include the following :

• It has bigger, backlit buttons. Most of our old folks can hardly see and this is best for them.

• Bright and large text.

• Powerful speaker sounds loud and clear.

Jitterbug has a live, 24-hour operators that can make calls for our oldies in case of emergencies. Also, provide directory assistance and add names to phone list.

The service is very affordable. With just $10 a month, calls are unlimited with no roaming or long distance fees.

This really makes sense. A cellphone created for our grandparents.
