Review: Jitterbug
Um... so who is the carrier?
Phonescoop has not mentioned a carrier even once... but they did test it on something...
But it is CDMA... it's not like someone can just activate it on any carrier. Sprint will not allow foreign ESN's on the network. As a matter of fact, I believe Alltel and Verizon are starting to block foreign ESN's as well. The only carrier I know that activates anything are Cricket and Page Plus (MVNO).

We did mention the carrier right from the start. It's GreatCall. They're a new MVNO. All they offer is this phone and the service that goes with it.

Ahh... I see it now. I had never heard of GreatCall before... so from the way it is worded in the article... you might not know that GreatCall is a carrier.

you order the phones and everything through myjitterbug.com everything on the phone is branded jitterbug except for the start up animation on the handset which says great call. i think they're intentionally trying to make everything have the jitterbug identity, phones, service, live operators, etc.
i don't think elderly people who don't know much about cellular service to begin with would benefit from knowing their jitterbug phone is actually sold by a company call GreatCall who leases network service from other companies.
and as for true carrier, i'm no sure who GreatCall uses.

Yeah, didn't Sprint agree to allow Jitterbug at the same time thay allowed Amp'd, Helio, Disney, and the rest? I think that's what caused them to say "no more", but this went through before that...
...
Hey, wouldn't it be funny if someone had one of these and tried to activate AMP'd servce on it?
...
Why does Samsung brand their models like that (SCH, SGH, SPH)? Does it stand for "Samsung CDMA Handset / Samsung GSM Handset / Samsung ?PCS? Handset ??
