Tony,

My fiance' is an employee of the corp office for JITTERBUG PHONE. The phone will not work with any sim chip regardless of the carrier. You have to purchase the phone and the calling plans through the company.

The phone is $147.00 or 3 payments of $49.00 a month. There is a one time activation fee of $35.00.

The phone is hearing aid compatible, the volume goes up to 108 decmal.

There are calling plans provided that are very resonable.
