Comparison
Here's the thing, if you've been shopping around, you'll note that there are quite a few senior phones on the market, such as the Jitterbug Flip or the Doro 7050. The USHINING stands out with its Type-C charging (which is still a rarity among senior phones) and a built-in FM radio for those who like to tune into their favorite stations. While the Jitterbug Flip offers better customer support with its service plans, the USHINING’s affordability and no contract freedom are tough to beat.
