They say that trac fone doesn't work out here because of the very hilly 
teraine.  We find that in our community, you can initiate a call fine, but 
soon after the call begins, it is dropped, almost without exception. ... 
And, this is with a fully-charged battery, and applies to both my wife's and 
my phones.

Don't know about Jitterbug, and may check into that too.
