Jitterbug Flip2 drops to $99 — best senior-friendly phone at any price

Lively has dropped the Jitterbug Flip2 to $99 — that’s $50 off its regular price and the lowest we’ve seen it. For anyone who wants a phone that just makes calls reliably without the complexity of a smartphone, this is the one we recommend most consistently.

What makes it different

The Flip2 is a flip phone with genuinely large buttons — not large-for-a-smartphone large, but actually large. The font on the display is bigger than anything a smartphone offers by default. The speaker is loud enough for people with hearing difficulties, and there’s a dedicated urgent response button on the back that connects directly to Lively’s 24/7 response service.

The service plan

The phone works on Lively’s network (which runs on Verizon’s towers — solid nationwide coverage). Plans start at $19.99 per month for basic talk and text, and include the urgent response service at the higher tiers. No annual contract is required.

Who it’s best for

Anyone who finds smartphones confusing, frustrating, or simply not worth the learning curve. Also works well as a secondary phone for travel when you don’t want to risk your primary device. The battery lasts several days on a charge, which is another genuine advantage over any smartphone.
