Frequently Asked Questions - Jitterbug 5 GreatCall

How do I activate my Jitterbug 5?

Finally, turn on the phone by pressing the On/Off button. The activation will start automatically and may reboot several times. When you see 'Phone was set up successfully!' you are done.
What is the 5Star button for?
The red 5Star button is for emergencies. When pressed, it connects you to a 5Star Agent who assesses your situation, identifies your location via GPS, and can connect you to emergency services. This service requires a GreatCall GoPlan.
How do I make a call on the Jitterbug 5?
Open the phone to hear a dial tone (if service is available). Dial the full ten-digit number using the keypad (may need to dial '1' first in some areas), then press the Yes button to place the call. If you make a mistake, press No to delete the last digit.

Can I use the Jitterbug 5 without a GreatCall plan?
No, the Jitterbug 5 requires an active GreatCall account and a rate plan (such as GoPlan) to make calls and use services like 5Star and operator assistance. Without a plan, the phone will display 'No Service'.
