How can I use Wi-Fi to reduce my data usage?

If you are in a location with Internet access and a Wi-Fi (wireless) network, and you have the network password, you can connect your phone to Wi-Fi to reduce usage of your monthly data plan allowance.

When your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, all data usage goes through Internet connection instead of Lively's cellular network.

NOTE: Periodically check the Status Bar to confirm you are connected to Wi-Fi. If you are not connected, data usage may be deducted from your monthly allowance. When connected, a Wi-Fi icon will appear in the Status Bar.

What accessibility features does the Jitterbug Smart4 have?

For vision support: The Jitterbug Smart4 has a simple, text-based menu organized in a single list with large font on a big, bright screen for better visibility. Voice Typing makes it easy to write texts and emails.

For hearing support: The Jitterbug Smart4 has a hearing aid compatibility (HAC) rating of M3/T4 and will work with most hearing aids. Powerful dual speakers make conversations loud and clear. There's also live call captioning which displays spoken words as text in real time during

What operating system does the Jitterbug Smart4 have?

The Jitterbug Smart4 features an easy-to-use Lively experience based on a customized version of the Android 14 operating system.

Why do I need a Google account?

To get the most out of your Jitterbug smartphone, it is important to connect your phone to a Google account (also known as Gmail). If you don’t already have a Gmail account, we recommend creating one. A Googleaccount helps keep your contacts, emails, calendar events, tasks, and apps
backed up and protected, so your information is safe if anything happens to your phone. It also gives you access to the Google Play Store, where you can download new apps and update your existing ones.

Creating a Google account is free. You can sign into an existing account or create a new one when setting up your phone for the first time or when you open the Play Store app.

What happens if I don’t have the Urgent Response service and I press the Urgent Response button?

If you do not have Urgent Response service the Urgent Response button will be disabled. In an emergency, dial 9-1-1.

What are Wireless Emergency Alerts?

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) and the Emergency Alert System allows consumers who own compatible mobile devices to receive geographically targeted, free text-like messages alerting them of imminent threats to safety or missing person alerts in their area (i.e., AMBER Alerts).

WEAs only cover critical emergency situations. Consumers can receive four types of alerts:

  • National Alerts issued by the President of the United States or the Administrator of FEMA;
  • Imminent Threat alerts involving imminent threats to safety or life;
  • AMBER Alerts about missing children; and
  • Public Safety Messages conveying recommendations for saving lives and property.

WEAs are broadcast to the geographic area affected by an emergency. If you receive the alert, it is because you are located in a geographic area that is impacted by the alert.

To receive a WEA, your phone must be WEA-capable, switched on, not on "airplane mode," and in the vicinity of and receiving service from a cell tower of a wireless carrier that participates in WEA.

Adjusting your alert settings

WEA alerts don't cost any money, and you can adjust the alerts you get in your phone's settings. The FCC prohibits consumers from blocking national alerts. Therefore, while you can adjust your alert preferences, you will still receive nation-wide alerts.
