Senior citizen cell phone

Cell phone companies really need to make simpler phones. Having been the caretaker of several senior citizens (family), some with Alzheimers, I know how important it is to be able to give an older person a cell phone that they can:

1. See! (Large, clear text and big buttons)
2. Hear!
3. Understand! (Simple to use, no gizmos)

The senior citizen population is HUGE and growing, yet the cell phone companies mostly ignore them completely. The only real choice I’ve been able to find is from a company called Jitterbug. I like the choices they have, and am ordering one for my father-in-law today. Still, there shouldn’t just be one company to choose from. So, c’mon cell phone companies, start making some phones that cater to the needs of senior citizens. It’s way past time.

UPDATE: The Jitterbug has been great. My father-in-law can easily use it and loves it. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending it for anyone.

Jitterbug One Touch. The perfect cell phone for your loved ones.
