Jitterbug Phone Setup & Support Services
Technology Comfort, Simplified.
Smartphone technology shouldn't feel like a barrier to staying connected with the people you love. If you or a family member recently purchased a Jitterbug Smart or Jitterbug Flip phone, we provide patient, hands-on, in-home setup and optimization to ensure it is comfortable, clear, and ready to use.

How to answer and end a call without stress.
How to view and send a text message using voice-to-text or the large keypad.
How to charge the device correctly every night.
What to do if the screen goes dark or a button is pressed accidentally.
