## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple and inexpensive
*by C***L on May 24, 2023*

I got this phone for my mom who is in a nursing home, and has some dementia. The local phone company wanted to charge a ridiculous monthly fee just for basic phone service! The Jethro phone offers just what I needed, an easy to use, inexpensive phone so that I can keep in touch with my mom. I was especially looking for a cellphone that is easy to charge. My mom can just keep it in the charging base! The phone came with a SIM card and was very easy to set up. Very happy with my purchase, so far.

### ⭐ Not working
*by A***R on June 2, 2024*

Doesn't work any more ☹️Not good for group texts without purchasing additional internet. Phone calls not working.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just What Mama Needed
*by S***S on August 3, 2022*

Great, simple phone and I do mean simple. Just what my 82 year old mom who is not in the best of health needs. The thing I appreciate most about the phone is that there are no volume buttons on the sides. With other phones, my mom always did the death grip so the volume would get turned down to low, low. Now it is set at its highest volume all around and stays there. Now when i call, mom can hear the ringer as well as hear me talking to her. Phone is a God-send for her in this age of phones that are smarter than an astrophysicist.
