Substitute For Jitterbug

[Kountryguy]

I currently have a Jitterbug Flip Phone by Alcatel. It is the second one I have had and they were both junk! They only ring some of the time, the dial tone only works occasionally, just unsatisfactory. I am trying to find another low cost plan for talk, that uses the verizon network. Any suggestions?

Jitterbug is for old people. I'm old but not Jitterbug old.

Do they offer a rotary dial option too? 🙂

Had a flip phone and ditched it for an Android. You can change the text size for old eyes. I don't use all the gizmo's, don't need to but at 30 bucks a month for everything, it makes no sense to have a flip phone with tiny keys and screen.

My Kyocera is IP54, that is, unlike most phones, if you submerge it in water, don't hurt it. Most phones will turn into rocks if dropped in water plus it takes a 5G impact.

Does anyone use Club Cellular? The reviews I read do not sound good.

Yes. The Jitterbug has a dialtone when you flip it open.

Surprised Jitterbug is still around.

I believe Club Cellular uses the verizon network. AMAC members save 5%.

We use Straightalk from Walmart and have for years. It's $45/month, which is probably more than you want to pay. It is for 10g of data, unlimited talk and text. You can purchase whatever phone you want through them or online. We have travelled all over the east coast and have only had a couple of times that service was not good (if others have service).

That's my suggestion.
