Jitterbug CoverageJitterbug coverage used to be provided by a patchwork network made up of a whole slew of carriers. My Jitterbug phone originally came with a Qwest sticker on it. However, Qwest's wireless coverage appears to be now provided by Verizon Wireless. That means that that Jitterbug coverage is now also provided by Verizon.Verizon's coverage is, of course, very good, and being on Verizon’s CDMA network may be why voice-activated dialing is available on the Jitterbug at no additional cost. In any case I have personally found the coverage to be very good up and down along the East Coast and in the Mid-West. Check Signal StrengthThere are a couple of ways to know whether you have a good enough signal.Just Listen for the Dial ToneJitterbug has two way for you to check your signal strength. The quick way is to just flip open the phone and check if there's a dial tone. If there is, then you can make a call. It's that simple.Check the Phone InfoYou can also go to the "Phone Info" section of your menu. There, the actual signal strength will be given as either good, fair, or poor. All these levels still appear to be strong enough to be for making calls. I still haven't seen what it says when it can't make a callYou can check out the overall Jitterbug coverage map here to see how well your region of the country is covered.
