Tony, I investigated jitterbug years ago and it looked OK I’m reading from 
my older notes. There with Best Buy and they have a phone number where they 
spoke English at great call, phone number 866-819-3174. It was $100 and $15 
monthly for 250 minutes and can carryover up to 500 minutes. I believe they’re 
on the Verizon network which I’ve had zero problems with. Also a true 
Verizon store or if you call them they were going to get rid of their flip 
phones but in reality the people Seem to want that more than the smart 
phones. Tom
