Jitterbug J
Not everyone wants or needs a complicated cell phone. That's where the Jitterbug J comes in. Designed to offer "ultimate simplicity" for seniors or anyone else who needs a simpler cell phone, the Jitterbug J offers large keypad for easy-to-read numbers, a loud speaker, and simple text messaging.

LG Octane
Verizon Wireless has a history of offering excellent LG cell phones, and the LG Octane is no exception. This phone features the flip-style design that works so well on phones like the LG enV3. When closed it looks like a standard cell phone, but flip it open on the side and you'll see a full QWERTY keyboard for easy typing. It also comes with a variety of social networking apps installed.
Samsung Eternity II
The all-touch-screen Samsung Eternity II boasts a slick, eye-catching design. But the Eternity II is more than just a pretty face: it offers plenty of multimedia features, including support for AT&T mobile TV. It also offers easy access to social networks and a full HTML browser.
Samsung's Intensity II takes messaging seriously. It features a full, slide-out QWERTY keyboard for easy typing, and a dedicated messaging key to speed up the process. And like Samsung's Eternity II, the Intensity II is designed to offer easy access to your favorite social networks.
