Jitterbug Joins the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women Movement to Speak Up Against Heart Disease

San Diego, Calif.  January 7, 2010  Jitterbug, the leader in delivering easy-to-use, innovative wireless services to people who seek simplicity, today announced that the company has become a proud supporter of the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement. To show its full support, Jitterbug is donating $500,000 to the American Heart Association to help raise awareness so women can lead longer, heart-healthy lives.

Jitterbug's contribution to Go Red For Women is an important example of the company's leadership in offering customers access to health and wellness services that are simple, intuitive, and fully supported by high quality customer service. As a participant in the movement, Jitterbug has announced the new Jitterbug J by Samsung in Red, giving customers not only a Red cell phone to show their solidarity for the cause but also a unique way to communicate the message and speak up against heart disease. Customers who purchase the phone will receive official American Heart Association Heart Healthy Tips on the Jitterbug that they can implement in their own lives and share with loved ones.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death among American women, and we at Jitterbug want to do our part to create solutions and save lives, said David Inns, Jitterbug CEO. Contributing to Go Red For Women and further developing a family of easy-to-use services for heart health is another example of how Jitterbug is committed to using wireless technology to improve the health and wellness of our customers.

The new daily Health Tips service joins Jitterbug's current offering of helpful services including the award-winning Jitterbug LiveNurse, which connects customers to 24-hour registered nurses, as well as a regularly updated audio information library for medical advice and support. Like all of Jitterbug's services, the daily Health Tips and Jitterbug J by Samsung in Red cell phone will be fully supported by Jitterbug's 24/7 customer service staff. Integrating these crucial customer service interactions into every aspect of the phone differentiates Jitterbug as the complete service experience.

"Our new relationship with Jitterbug will allow us to reach even more women as we fight their number one killer, heart disease," said Neil Meltzer, American Heart Association Board Chairman and President and COO, Sinai Hospital of Baltimore. "Jitterbug's dedication and support will help Go Red For Women deliver health information to that encourages women to make life-saving choices everyday."

The Jitterbug J by Samsung in Red cell phone will be available to consumers in January at Jitterbug.com and by calling 866-292-6005.
