GreatCall, which sells developing wireless services “focused on keeping people connected, safe and healthy,” according to company officials, announced that Tri-State appliance and electronics retailer P.C. Richard & Son will carry the Jitterbug (News - Alert) J cell phones.

The handsets, created by GreatCall, are 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.

In addition to 24-hour U.S.-based customer support, GreatCall offers a range of services, including health and wellness applications, through their handsets. According to company officials, features include LiveNurse, which offers unlimited 24/7 access to a live registered nurse, and the Medication Reminder service, which enables users to 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 questions and information for relaxing, motivating and overall well-being, and MyWorld, described by GreatCall officials as “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 service offerings and applications can be accessed at their online App Store. The company styles itself “People You Can Count On,” to deliver wireless services focused on helping to keep customers connected, safe and healthy. Their services, apps and cell phone handsets are sold nationwide at retailers such as Best Buy (News - Alert), Sears, Sears Hometown Stores and Radio Shack.
