Is jitterbug worth it? (Cricket: cost of, distance, cell phone)

[SunnyKayak]

I see their commercials all the tme but I have verizon because of signal
coverage and rarely dropped calls

Jitterbug has persuaded ne with no contract deal


Has anyone used a service that you loose connection alot in the
mountains or coast??
re

or the caller sound like paper rattling

I got my phone in Hunterville and be sure with any cell phone provider they are not just a dealer

[chicagocubs]

I think jitterbug is primarily an emergency-use only phone...????

[I just want to know]

I was thinking the same thing... that it's an emergency use phone only. Have you looked into Cricket? My teenage daughter uses Cricket... no contracts, and I don't have to worry about any minutes... as she gets local/long distance, text messaging, vm, internet all unlimited for about $40 a month. Again she is a teenager so that's all she needs. So far the service has been great...

[SunnyKayak]

cricket sounds good

How is the coverage

[I just want to know]

Coverage has been great... haven't had any dropped calls, no issues when traveling either.

Depends on what you want. You have to pay a monthly fee for jitterbug plus the cost of the phone. I prefer the pay as you go option and a low-cost phone from Target (Virgin Mobile - $20+) but I don't use my cell phone often.

I was going to say, yes, but it's a hard dance to learn

Ditto, I thought Sunny was looking into taking a dance class. You just never know until you open the thread, LOL.
