How do I get started?

Step 1 is to order the Jitterbug Senior Phone phone. This can be done by adding the phone to the cart above and completing the secure checkout process OR you can place your order by phone at 1-800-516-4279. We're available to help you 9:00am to 6:00pm est, Monday thru Friday.

Step 2 is to activate the Jitterbug Senior phone. After you receive your new Jitterbug phone you will then be ready to activate it in one of two ways: calling the activation center (open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or by using your computer and visiting www.greatcall.com/activate. There is a one-time activation fee of $35.00 for setting up your phone and account.

You can contact the activation center by using your home phone or another phone. An experienced, US-based operator will set up the following for you: your new phone number, the calling plan and any features you would like, and finally, your billing preferences. The call normally only takes 12 to 15 minutes to complete. This entire process is also explained in "The Quick Start Guide" which is included inside the Jitterbug box.
