I called Verizon and they totally deny that jitterbug can be used on a verizon account. Can anyone tell me if jitterbug is Verizon compatible?

This is not a Verizon phone. It all depends on the amount of minutes and data you need each month. You can research on the Verizon wireless website the price of basic phone plans and the pay as you go plans to determine if the Great Call service is less expensive or if a Verizon plan would be better. For my elderly father the Jitterbug with the Great Call monthly plan charged to his credit card each month is the best. It all depends on your service needs.

No it can not run on their account. After purchase you contact Jitterbug to activate. They have amazingly affordable plans with no contract. The connection with Verizon is Jitterbug connects into their airways. In other words if Verizon has service in an area so does Jitterbug.

This question has been answered many times. Great call pays Verizon for use of their service. The Jitterbug works on the Verizin network but the service is only sold thru Great Call so NO you can't add a Jitterbug to a Verizon account

Jitterbug uses the Verizon network of cell phone towers. Meaning you get the same cell phone land coverage as someone with Verizon plans. Verizon must sell the service to Great Call. Verizon doesn't seem to want to deal with basic phones or customers with small data usage. So, you must sign up with Great Call for cell phone service but, they use Verizon towers so the reception is the same as a Verizon customer receives.

Did I say in my review that it's Verizon only? If so, I don't know why I would have said that. I have a Verizon phone and know that it works on that but I don't know anything beyond that. I would imagine it also works on Sprint but I have no first hand knowledge on that. Sorry.

Verizon sim cards do not work with John's phone. I bought 2 John's phones from amazon. Both failed after a short time of use. Total waste of money.

I had to send it back because it was not compatible with my Verizon company for some reason...I did like the way it looked though! I think it can be a pre paid.

I use T-Mobile and have never used Verizon, best check with Verizon, but, I have heard Verizon is incompatible with most unlocked phones.

S Guzman, Thanks for the post. I don't understand why Verizon keeps tryingto make it so hard to play your own songs. They disable funtions andmake the phones worse. I wish we could just buy the phones seperately and then sign up for service. Thanks again for the post.FC

I don't think so. That being said, we have other phones that have used Verizon and other carriers for our children. My husband and I use the jitterbugs because they have always had service where the others did not and were in dead zones. Also, we needed the increased volume these phones provide. Their service is hands down better than Verizon.

Yes the case is a perfect for the Jitterbug phone.The only slight problem is the side the charger plug goes in,a little snug,so I cut the side out just a tad. The sides are elastic material and no problem.Hope this is helpful. AE

Yes, it worked with the jitterbug. My mother is the one using the phone. Now, she does not forget her cell phone and I can call her anytime, anywhere.

I am not sure. I bought it through verizon so they may have it locked? I will look into it.

Good question. I bought one thinking i could use it on my verizon family plan only to be told by verizon that the phone was a pre-paid phone only and could not be activated on my family plan. if you can find out from amazon if the phone is a pre-paid only that's your best bet.

I ordered a Jitterbug phone for my Dad and activated it through "GreatCall". You can ask them at 1 (800) 733-6632. Good Luck!

Yes. In fact I had to go into an area with the VERSION NETWORK to activate the Jitterbug. ATT is a primary carrier in my immediate area. I have found that it will use signal from a local carrier Appalachian Wireless as VERSION devices piggy backs on their signal. Think they have some type of arrangement. Just know it is not compatible on AT&T.; I purchased this for an elderly relative and works great ON VERSION.

I also have Verizon but am having no luck getting a connection to the internet. It shows as being connected to the WiFi connection but I can't get any internet pages to load.

Yes, just contact them before you order your jitterbug and before you cancel your current phone.

Does not work with Verizon, the ESN is not clean. I had to return mine after bringing it to multiple verizon stores that could not get it to work.

I am also under contract with Verizon and have no problem, but I think my phone was an Intensity i. If you have the actual model number, I believe you can ask Verizon if it is compatible with your plan.
