At least according to Overstock.com, the Samsung Jitterbug is made in USA.

Not exactly the phone I would want, but its a start. Still looking for a slightly smarter phone.

No bells and whistles, but just good for receiving and making calls. It works for me.

I don't know of any phones Made in USA. My boyfriend is very techy and says there aren't any.

However, I'm starting a project on October 1 of going one year wearing all American Made clothing and accessories. Someone asked me if phones count as an accessory. I don't think so. Here's the link to my website documenting my Made in USA clothing journey! Maybe it can help you find some places to find American made clothing, socks, etc.!

As I've been shopping around for American made clothing, I've learned that you can go on many websites, ebay, amazon, etc. and type in "Made in USA", and see what comes up.

Not sure how much is made in USA, but they are supposed to be going for fair trade and anti-corporate values.
