June 2, 2009 8:59 AM | Samsung | Comments (0)
GreatCall, Inc. today announced the national availability of its new Jitterbug J cell phone and expanded rate plans offering more affordable options to a wider range of consumer needs. The Jitterbug J cell phone is GreatCall’s next generation device that supports the option of expanded easy-to-use services, while maintaining the leadership trademark of wireless simplicity that the Jitterbug brand is known for. This “best of both worlds” combination is made possible through the Jitterbug J’s unique technical design that allows users to easily turn features on and off as they wish. This approach, paired with a sleek and stylish new handset, makes the Jitterbug J a great companion for people seeking a lifestyle of simplicity. The new Jitterbug J also offers new more affordable rate plans as well as the company’s 24/7 U.S. based customer service and friendly operators who greet callers by name. |  |
Unlike current mass cellular offerings, each Jitterbug J function comes with a complete service component. In addition, the new Jitterbug J is based on a dynamic over-the-air system that allows customers to easily access new applications for their phone from “MyJitterbug.com” – the company’s personal and easy-to-use services management website. All new applications will be supported with a collection of customer care and online services and will be easily accessible through Jitterbug’s new
services store.
For example, “MyCalendar” is a new service that Jitterbug will launch this summer which can be turned on and kept up to date by either using MyJitterbug.com or by simply calling one of the friendly Jitterbug operators. No complicated navigation or key tapping. Such “high touch” service gives customers as much independence or “always on” personalized operator assistance as they want.
Key Features of the New Jitterbug J:
- Updated, slim and sleek design while still being comfortable in the hand yet retaining all of the great features like the noise reduction ear piece, dial tone, comfortable keypad with larger acklit buttons and easy to read text
- Wireless headset, hands free and other wireless accessories are enabled by Bluetooth technology, with simple step by step instructions
- Improved and even easier-to-use screen navigation
- Ability to personalize ring tones and screen colors; with special emphasis on providing audible tones for those with hearing loss

- MyCalendar -- customers already call the Jitterbug operators or go to MyJitterbug.com to enter and manage their phone book – now they can manage their calendar too! All entries can be done online (by the customer or a family member) or the operator can enter appointments for them, and the phone is updated over-the-air to provide a view and reminder.
- SimpleText -- helps customers keep in touch with text messaging; using messages from a unique prewritten “message library” or typical word entry for a more personal message.
- LiveNurse -- provides customers with unlimited access to a registered nurse 24/7 as well as access to a health information library featuring up to date information on hundreds of health related topics.
- Jitterbug Complete Care -- a services package that includes Jitterbug Roadside Assistance, “No questions asked” handset replacement, and the Jitterbug LiveNurse. All this for a combined price of only $9/month.
