Finally, a cell phone

That’s… a phone

With rates as low as $3.75 per week!

“Well, I finally did it.I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone.My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help.But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind.The phones all have cameras, computers and a "global-positioning" something or other that’s supposed to spot me from space.Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren’t much help.They couldn’t understand why someone wouldn’t want a phone the size of a postage stamp.And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive ...and the contract (合同) lasted for two years! I’d almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone.Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch …with a phone I can actually use.”

Affordable plans that I can understand — and no contract to sign! Unlike other cell phones, Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I’m never going to use. And if I do talk more than I plan, I won’t find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign — so I’m not locked in for years at a time. The US-based customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.
