Jitterbug Cell Phone Complaints

Although jitterbug cell phone is very popular within its target population, and jitterbug cell phone reviews agree that it is a great phone and service, including jitterbug service plan, there are some Jitterbug Cell Phone Complaints to be addressed.

No phone is perfect – Jitterbug Cell Phone Complaints

One of most frequent of Jitterbug Cell Phone Complaints is battery status and radio signal strength information, which are not shown on the home screen of the phone all the time. Therefore it is sometimes difficult to notice that battery is drained, until it is too late. The only low battery warrning the jitterbug cell phone shows, is surprisingly displayed only for a BRIEF SECOND, once you open the phone – and it is displayed in GREEN colored popup. This is weird and funny, as it does not seem like a warning, and it dissapears too fast, without user confirming that he saw it…

Several jitterbug cell phone reviews highlighted another problem – with charging the phone. Users must find tiny hole in the bottom of the phone – and this hole is in the middle of the larger black strip (connectors used for connecting phone to accessories and computer)… Finding the charger plug is difficult because it is not clearly visible and accessible, and secondly because charging plug is tiny and fragile. This seems like a big dissapointment to us, especially since the jitterbug cell phone is otherwise so cleverly designed to be easy for use by kids and seniors…

Jitterbug Cell Phone Complaints on the service part

It should be noted that Jitterbug requires a one time $35 activation fee with all of its plans. But on the other side, unlike other networks and plans it offers more services, especially targeted for its audience. This includes live US located operators 24/7.

Jitterbug cell phone targets the youngest and the oldest subscribers, and of course those who want simple usage. The jitterbug J model  supports text messages, but has no integrated camera, and its browser is very primitive, and hence the limitations in data support…

Jitterbug Cell Phone Complaints also include non existing long term contracts, which means that operator cannot offer big discounts on phones, as competitors do.
