Samsung and CPSC have initiated a recall of the a110 and a120 Jitterbug phones. The reason for the recall is that the phones are equipped with BB14 software and cannot connect to emergency 911 services when it’s in a no-service area. The recall affects Jitterbug phones sold from March 2008 through May 2009 and are eligible for a free software upgrade.
When it comes to reliability, I only trust Just5. This is also a provider of simple phones with practical features such as PERS. This is the phone that is being used by my parents so I know how it works. Well, this phone has saved my mom’s life already when she had a bad fall in the garden. Just5 is also the provider that made it possible for the two of them to spend as low as $3.33 a month by getting the cheapest minute plan offered.
