LIVELY Jitterbug Phones Smart3 Smartphone for Seniors - Cell Phone for Seniors - Must Be Activated Phone Plan - Not Compatible with Other Wireless Carriers

The phone is just as stated. I am an older person and the phone instructions are excellent. I would recommend this phone to anyone.

I wasn't a senior when I started using Jitterbug phones, but the price was right and they are super-easy to use. Great customer service, too. Now that I am a senior, I see no reason to change. These are fine phones, and the newest model, the Smart 4, is supposed to be "much improved." The only way they could have improved it, in my opinion, was the camera. But unlike young people, that's not a huge concern for me. My Smart 3s were perfectly adequate for me, at a great price. I've had about half a dozen and will not change from them. Good, good product.

I highly recommend the Bark Phone to any family looking for a safe, reliable, and easy-to-use smartphone for their child. My 8-year-old son absolutely loves it — and so do I! One of the best things about the Bark Phone is how simple and kid-friendly it is. My son can easily make calls, including to his grandparents who live overseas, and he even calls me when I’m at work just to say hi — which absolutely melts my heart! As a parent, I love how much control and peace of mind it gives me. I can monitor everything he’s doing, set screen time limits, block apps, and get alerts for anything concerning — all from my phone. It’s packed with built-in safety features without being overly complicated. The Bark Phone truly offers the perfect balance between freedom for kids and control for parents. It’s designed specifically with families in mind, and it shows. If you’re thinking about getting your child their first phone — this is the one. Trust me, it’s worth it!

This is supposed to be easy to use. Yes, there are many other bad reviews, but somehow I was hopeful and tried it anyway. It's my third cell phone, and the only one that I may have to return or throw into the trash. First of all, to set it up, you're supposed to call a certain phone number. But when you dial that number, all you get is a recording that says the number is out of service. Then, somewhere in the instruction booklet, I found a second phone number, but that number gave the same result as the first one. So I called their Customer Service. That person managed, after about an hour, and with some difficulty, to connect me to a "set-up specialist" with whom I spent two or three hours on the phone. Finally she said my phone was ready to go. But it wasn't. It still won't receive incoming calls. It's advertised as "simple," but it's by far the most ridiculously complicated and impossible to use of any phone I've tried. I will be either returning it or tossing it into the trash.

This is my first smart phone (having owned a simple flip phone for years), and so I wanted something simple-to-use and not too expensive. The monthly fee is not cheap but not expensive either. It's very easy to set up and extremely easy if you don't keep your old phone number. If you keep your previous number, it will take much longer to activate. I chose a new random number, and it was working within an hour. I highly recommend this item to anyone who wants a phone that is easy to use and that won't put too much strain on your finances.
