Today Great Call announced a new version of the Jitterbug. The Jitterbug J is a clamshell with large buttons similar to the original Jitterbug, but it is thinner and lighter than the previous model. The Jitterbug J has Bluetooth, so users can take advantage of wireless headsets. It also has improved on-screen navigation, custom ringtones, dedicated speakerphone key, call waiting and 30% more battery life. The Jitterbug J also offers new services, including MyCalendar, which lets users add calendar items online that automatically sync with their handset; new SMS templates; 24/7 access to a nurse call-in service; and a Complete Care package that bundles in roadside assistance and free replacement of lost or broken phones.
