Jitterbug®, the Simple Cell Phone and Service, Teams Up with
FirstSTREET® to Better Reach Consumers Who Want Cellular Simplicity
Del Mar, Calif. – Feburary 4, 2008 – Jitterbug today announced that the company will continue its
partnership with FirstSTREET, a direct marketing firm that delivers products designed for Baby Boomers
and Beyond™. Jitterbug, the cell phone and service made simple, is ideally suited to this market with its
easy to use, intuitive handset, nationwide service starting at just $10 a month with no contract
commitments and friendly, helpful operators available 24-hours a day. FirstSTREET showcases Jitterbug
and other products in its catalog, website and through ads placed in national and targeted print publications.
“Our relationship with FirstSTREET enables Jitterbug to reach more customers who want a simple way to stay
in touch with loved ones while away from home -- but without all the complicated features of today's cell
phones,” said David Inns, Jitterbug CEO. “FirstSTREET is an ideal partner given their laser focus on our customer.”
“We are pleased to offer Jitterbug along with our other products targeted to Baby Boomers. With Jitterbug’s ease
of use, personal service and affordability, it’s no surprise that it is one of our top sellers,” says John Fleming,
VP Media Marketing for FirstSTREET.
