The Early Bird Special?
With mobile technology becoming more and more mainstream by the day, it's logical to see companies try to corner the senior demographic. However, for the sake of promotion snd to kick off the new service, I believe Jitterbug should throw in a bottle of VIAGARA with every new activation. I mean, mobiles are for people of the go, right? People with things to DO, right? Sex, a mobile w/dialtone, and oversized numbers....what a way to go.....VERY PIMP???
What an asshat. It's spelt Viagra by the way...what are you, 10, 12 tops?
Please stop posting such drivel on phonescoop. And learn basic grammar, spelling, and sentence structure.
I'm suddenly afraid of the kids graduating from public school f...

😕 Your an ass wipe you know that was possibly the worst discussion topic i have ever seen you have to be around the age of 8 because your grammar is the equivalent to that of my 6 year old cousin. 😳
You two guys are crazy. As you can see, all of the posts concerning this topic are meant to be funny. I invite you to read the 50 or so posts on this subject. Everyone is making sarcastic remarks and enjoying themselves. You guys need to relax a b...

Slowing the tide...
...of incoming MVNOs on Sprint's network. I was wondering when this was coming. CDMA handles a lot of capacity, but it does have its limits. Even I'm not sure seniors should be a targeted demographic when it comes to cellular service.
What's wrong with targetting to seniors? I'm glad they're finally coming out with phones that an older person can use. My grandparents kind of need one, just in case their away from home and they need to get ahold of someone. Current models are too...

and from sprint of all companies, all those old people are gonna be mad their phone doesnt work.
Good idea in my view
I think this is another good idea to attack the senior market, as an MVNO on sprint's network becuase sprint has tons of capacity to lease and they are number 1 with MVNOs.
They already target the prepaid markets with Virgin mobile and Boost mobile, which is a many many billion dollar market and now they get into seniors which is another many billions of dollars market.
i think others should also get into those 2 areas as well to bring in more revenue..
While I think the phone itself is stupid(except for the large keypad), I think what will attract the "seniors" will be the price of the plans. With TMO dropping the $19.99 plan a little while back...a huge gaping hole was left in the market.
So, l...

The 3G Special Content Might be a bit SCARY...
Can you imagine? Vid clips of the Golden Girls in BIKINIS ! ! ! !
Or a new show, just for Jitterbug users... 'Baywatch Pasadena'.
😳 😳 😳 😳 😳
Yeah, and the newest season of "80210". Straight from the streets of Glendale, Co. Here you can follow Lester, and his daily struggle with an addiction to Centrum Silver. 😉
The commercials will be priceless!
I can see grandpa now. Strollin' down the sidewalk with his walker, phone in tow. I'm so curious though, pretty much all the old people that can handle and want to handle cell phones have them. But those who feel it's just too much couldn't care less. How are they going to appeal to that?
The dial-tone thing is cool though. I want that on my phone really really bad. 😁
Also, holy crap sprint, have enough MVNOs yet?
I just had an old woman come in yesterday asking why here phone never rang...it wasn't turned on.
"I have to turn it on for it to work?"
I almost pinched myself...
And yeah, that dial tone thing will def. help them.
Hahaha - yeah the commercials will be quite the hilarious riot. I must admit, the Boost Mobile ones were kinda funny, but they were supposed to be. . . I think with Jitterbug Mobile, we could see the most unintentionally hilarious commercial since "I...

I totally see Wilford Brimley being involved with this somehow. He's going for the old-people trifecta...oatmeal, medicine, and cell phones that have a dial tone. Rock.
