Same problem..can not figure out how to Accept a call waiting call. Read and re-read manual-no mention. Nothing on web site. I'm really starting to upset callers.Love the phone beyond that little quirk.

I don't know for certain but I think that's dependent on the service plan offered by Jitterbug. I didn't keep it long enough to activate

Jan, I purchased the phone for some else through my Amazon count. My understanding the guy have not active the phone yet, sorry I cannot help you.

You would actually need to become a "Jitterbug/GreatCall Customer". We use Verizon's towers so you'd still have the same great coverage....you would just pay your monthly fee to us. Plus, we have no contracts!-Sean from Jitterbug

I can't remember how we set up the phone. Neither of us had a contract at the time. I don't think I had to get a new one.

Have to dial an service activation number that you should be able to get from the Verizon website. It is possible that all you need to do is just try dialing out with the phone and you'll be given instructions. However, when my wife had purchased this very phone, she had issues with xfering her service. I'm not sure exactly what it was.

Well it won't load if you do not have any signal or if it is not in your contract. I don't have the phone now because it was not good for me to use. Contact your service provider if this doesn't help. Not the best phone. Never go knockoff.

I bought this phone a coupple of months ago and I can´t make it to work. I can talk but I don´t have internet, the service provider says it´s not fully unloked, that the internet service is attached to Verizon. Any help before I ask for a refound!!!

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

U have to buy it already unlocked. Call amazon & ask them for a solution. When u buy it unlocked u get a password with it. Maybe u have to have an acct with the company (ie... T-Mobile, AT&T;, Verizon etc

The guy I sold mine to asked me to call Sprint and ensure that he could get it activated. The rep mentioned being able to see account history. I hated this phone, btw. Never got 4G working on it and several systems were broken. S5 is supposedly better. I went back to LG and have no problems anymore.

Hi I had the same problem, so I called the vendor and he send me an unlock-code. But the whole thing looked suspicious. So I called HTC and let them check the IMAI or what ever that phone code is called. They told me, that the phone is not new but refurbished. So I called AT&T and let them check again and they confirmed. The vendor gave some weird excuses. I send the phone back on the same day i received it. I felt screwed and ribbed off. If I were you I would do the same.

This phone is without a contract! I just walked into a Sprint Store where I live and not only did they help activate it for me, they helped me figure out how to use it. I must have stayed over an hour. Now of course I already had service with Sprint and had a "Plan" in place, but my previous 2 year contract had run out.

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

You just buy the phone from Amazon... I chose Amazon because I have Prime and the price was low... or buy from Verizon then choose a pre-pay. I use Anytime Minutes which is $0.99 a day (only when you use the phone) and $0.10 per minute, nothing else. This suited me but there are other plans as well... just go to Verizon and look at pre-paid and live chat with a rep and they'll explain it fully.

inactivate? i just got this phone in the mail today (i selected 2 day shipping- for whatever reason, it was free of charge). Anyway, the instructions in the box told me to insert my old sim card into my new phone. After ordering the phone, my sim card was never affected. Something sounds wrong there- give Cingular a call. (btw- they also ship it with a new sim card, but i think it's just placed in the box as part of the default shipment in the event that the person purchasing the phone is a new customer). hope this helps!
