Q. Is there a fee for activating a Jitterbug phone.
A. Yes there is, and it's a bit of a whopper. The activation fee is $35.00. Luckily, the price of the phone has dropped (for now) to $99. So after activation, shipping and taxes, the damage comes to about $150. I bought my Jitterbug back when it still cost $147, but I went through the ordering process so I could give a complete snapshot of what you can expect to pay.

You also have to pick a calling plan, but that's not part of the one-time cost shown.

While the activation fee is a bit steep, the phone itself is worth it, especially with the price drop. Plus it also comes in red now!
