What Buyers Say
Lively Jitterbug Smart4 Smartphone for Seniors Cell Phone for Seniors Not Compatible Black 32GB
72 out of 100 low confidence 5 reviews
The Lively Jitterbug Smart4 is generally well-received as a senior-friendly smartphone with a large screen, simple interface, and loud speaker. Most users find it easy to set up and appreciate the responsive customer support. However, some users report significant issues like lack of speed dial, complex calling steps, and poor data speeds after 20GB, along with a frustrating activation and return process. The phone is locked to Lively's network, which can be a limitation.
