Jitterbug reportedly has acquired MobiWatch, a company focused on developing Mobile Personal Emergency Response Services (M-PERS). Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

In a release, Jitterbug (News - Alert) officials are of the view that the acquisition will provide the customers with personal safety services that are intuitive, reliable and delivered through the easy-to-use Jitterbug cell phone.

They said these new services will further differentiate Jitterbug as the complete service experience and will continue to enhance the lives of American consumers by providing safety, security and the ability to stay connected with family and friends while on the go.

“MobiWatch is a great fit for the Jitterbug brand and our proven ability to take the benefits of innovation and technology and deliver the best customer experience,” said David Inns, GreatCall CEO, in the release.

“As we continue to offer our customers more life-enhancing services, we are also providing them the freedom to choose what they want, when they want. It’s their choice,” said Inns.

According to company officials, the MobiWatch offering will be further developed by Jitterbug before coming to market.

“Jitterbug is the best brand to deliver on the MobiWatch vision and to bring our technology and services to market effectively,” said Jonathan Sieg, MobiWatch CEO.

The new Jitterbug M-PERS offering is scheduled to be available in late 2010.

Jitterbug is a major player in delivering a full range of wireless-based innovative, easy-to-use and life-enhancing services to people who seek simplicity.

Back in April, GreatCall, Inc., creators of the Jitterbug cell phone, had announced their plans to expand operations, officially breaking ground on the construction of a new customer care and sales call center in Carlsbad, Calif.
