The purpose of this site is to provide information to people interested
in the Jitterbug phone, by Samsung (SPH-A120). The Jitterbug service
and concept come from Great Call Inc., with the founders being Marty
Cooper and Arlene Harris.
Martin Cooper is said to be the
father of personal mobile communications, in other words cell phones.
Remember those big brick like cell phones? The ones that could only run
for 30 minutes on a full charge, the ones that cost $4000 at the time
back in 1983? Those original cell phones were because of Marty. Car
phones were already in existence, briefcase sized and hidden in the
trunks with a wire that ran to a large house phone sized set in the
front of the car. But Marty shrunk all of that down into a handset and
now just about everyone has a mobile phone.
