GreatCall Expands Retail Availability of Jitterbug Cell Phones in Tri-State Area
Award-winning Handset Now at P.C. Richard & Son Stores

GreatCall, Inc., a leader in developing wireless services focused on keeping people connected, safe and healthy, today announced that leading Tri-State appliance and electronics retailer P.C. Richard & Son will carry the award-winning Jitterbug J cell phones. The handsets, created by GreatCall, will be available in all 65 P.C. Richard & Son stores throughout Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

"As we continue to expand GreatCall's retail presence, we're excited to reach a new group of users who want simple handsets, including the Jitterbug J, as well as easy-to-use and helpful services and applications," said Ryan Jones, Vice President of Sales for GreatCall. "By working with retailing leaders and partners such as P.C. Richard & Son, we succeed in reaching those targeted customers who may not have had such convenient access to our products until now."

In addition to 24-hour U.S.-based customer support, GreatCall currently offers a range of helpful services, including health and wellness applications, through their handsets. Unique features include the award-winning LiveNurse, which offers unlimited 24/7 access to a live registered nurse, and the Medication Reminder service, which enables users to easily follow their medication schedule as prescribed by their doctor, track adherence to that schedule, and receive prescription refill reminders. Also available are Wellness Calls with Dr. Brian Alman, which offer a series of thoughtful questions and information for relaxing, motivating and overall well-being, and MyWorld, a fun way to stay up-to-date on personal interests such as local weather, daily trivia or updates on a favorite sports team or stock investment. GreatCall’s full range of service offerings and applications can be accessed at their online App Store: http://www.greatcall.com/AppStore

"The Jitterbug J handsets are unique and the applications available are unlike anything in the market, so we're eager to work with GreatCall to bring the experience to our valued customers," said Steve Miller, Buyer at P.C. Richard & Sons. "Having the Jitterbug in our stores adds a whole new dimension to the wireless products we carry, so we look forward to sharing the new, easy-to-use handset and services."

Available now, P.C. Richard & Son stores are carrying the Jitterbug J handset in Graphite and Red. The Jitterbug J in Red is available as part of GreatCall's support of the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women® movement, which raises awareness of heart disease so women can lead longer, heart-healthy lives.
