Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lively Smart4?
The Lively Smart4 (formerly Jitterbug Smart4) is a senior-focused Android smartphone made by Lively. It features a simplified tile-based home screen, a built-in Urgent Response emergency button, Alexa integration, and runs on Verizon's 4G LTE network.
How is the Lively Smart4 different from a regular Android phone?
The biggest difference is the interface. Instead of a standard Android home screen with small icons, the Smart4 presents a clean grid of large, labeled tiles. Key functions like Phone, Messages, Camera, and Urgent Response are immediately accessible from the home screen without navigating menus.
Can I download apps on the Lively Smart4?
Yes. The Smart4 runs Android and has access to the Google Play Store. You can install any app that's compatible with Android. However, the simplified home screen interface is what displays by default.
What is the price of the Lively Smart4?
The Lively Smart4 costs $119.99 for the device, plus a $35 activation fee. Monthly service plans start at $14.99 (Basic) and go up to $34.99 (Premium with Urgent Response and Nurse On-Call).
Is the Lively Smart4 waterproof?
Yes. The Smart4 has an IP68 water resistance rating, meaning it can be submerged in up to 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes. It's waterproof enough for accidental drops in sinks or puddles.
