Anyone have a Jitterbug?

I've never had a cell phone before, but I've just ordered a Jitterbug one as
advertised on T.V., made by Sanyo(?) Anyhow, it's a little more expensive
than the average cell, but because I have a hearing disability, my main
objective is to have a phone where I can hear others plainly. I hate the
phones we have in our home, because they're inferior; and my plans are to
discontinue using the home phone after I get my Jitterbug with all the
frequent callers already programmed.

It's known as the "baby boomers" cell phone; i.e., larger-print numbers,
bigger and easier to hold, and a volume adjustment going up to "Extra high".
I don't need cameras, videos or any other fancy extras included. And, they
take the frequently-called numbers you want to use and they'll program all
of them in the set before I receive the phone. I do have the voice mail
extra; that's important to me.

I don't like long phone conversations, so my motive is to have a phone handy
while I'm on the road, or unavailable for hours at a time; and more
importantly, to have on hand when I'm sitting with Hospice patients, so if
they die while I'm there, I have fast and easy access to the Hospice nurse.

Does anyone else have a Jitterbug phone, and if so, do you like it? Nanny
