I wanted something where they would send help out first, and then notify my family members. A lot of them have been notified as family members then they in turn have to call 911 themselves. I wasn't pleased with that; I wanted something where the help would be first in line. I've never had to use it so far, and I hope I never do, but if I do, I have it available. I felt that the cost was really minimum compared to some of the others, but I just paid it for the whole year.

I decided on Mobile Help based on phone calls that I made during my research period, and feedback that I received. I really haven't had to use it yet, but a typical day is to make sure that I have the fall alert necklace on when I'm here at home, and then to make sure that I take the cellular unit with me when I leave home, so that I have access to help if I need it. A couple of times my alarm has gone off when it shouldn't have, and I received calls, so it's pretty responsive. I have no complaints. It's pretty sensitive, but I guess they all are.

I feel secure, because before I got it I had fallen a couple of times. It's convenient equipment. It went off accidentally, and immediately they would call to find out if everything was okay. I think they're affordable and I appreciate how quickly they respond. I talked to them twice and they said they were gonna send something out, and I got it immediately in the mail. I already recommended it to about 6 people. I called other services and they were way too expensive for me, being a widow, and I didn't like what they offered.

As a matter of fact, I have already recommended MobileHelp to people. We haven't had to use it'we've only tested the system a couple of times' but they've always been very courteous and responsive to any questions that we had. We haven't had many; just for very minor stuff. It all seems to be well made, and I think it was a good value for the money; that's why we went with it.

I researched it to make sure that it was cellular-based, because we traveled quite a bit and that's important to us. Some of the others are just through a phone line at your house, and I wanted to make sure that when we're traveling we were still able to use it. That was kind of the deciding factor, and when I did some googling of the company and that made me decide to go with them. My wife is the one that uses it. We just go about our business and just feel safer knowing that in fact we have the device. She's by herself; that was kind of my concern, if I was traveling and away from the house, or she went someplace and she couldn't make a phone call, so it just gives her more freedom. I haven't had a lot of experience with it, but I have had two false alarms, and they called immediately and forgave me right away. I haven't had any issues with the equipment; it seems to work fine, including anytime we tested it. It's a product that we hope we never have to use, so that's our goal: to have it, but never have to use it.

I called it one time and I got results right away. It was at 1 in the morning. I was in great pain, and I called, and right away someone answered the phone and asked if it was me and if I needed medical help. I said yes, and right away they sent a team of people here. They told me what to do to ease the pain, they gave me Ibuprofen, and I was able to go back to sleep. They were very speedy in getting me the help I needed. I was in so much pain and it really mattered to me. The answering service is very good, a person comes on and answers you and talks to you, and that's very important.

They're very prompt in getting back to me if I missed a call on setting it up. I think it's a good device.

Price is right. I can wear a watch-like as opposed to a not so attractive '''necklace.''' They provide a lock box for your front door. Ask that you hang on your icebox door all your medical information. I have a little instrument that I can carry in my purse when I leave the house which enables me to call for help. You can regulate the volume on the small console - very nice so your neighbors don't hear the loud response from the Mobile Help folks. I could go on and on! And AARP recommends this device and compare it with the other devices in AARP.

I haven't used it, but I wear it all the time. I love it, and so do my children, because I feel like I'm secure. I live alone in the country, and they were just so afraid that something would happen and I wouldn't be able to get help. My daughter who lives in California got it for me. All the equipment is very, very good, and seems to be very accurate and efficient. The lock box on the door is really nice.

I had read their marketing brochure and had asked them for additional information. It sounded like it would work for me, but it will not. I'm waiting for them to send me a return post receipt, and I will be sending it back. I had no problems with their customer service. They were helpful and told me what they would do. The device itself seems to be convenient, but I just tallied everything up and figured that for the number of times I would probably use it, it is going to be more costly than I had initially anticipated. I have advanced glaucoma and I'm going blind, so I have major health problems and with the expenses, it just didn't seem to be the way to go.

I called for some information about my lock box, and they explained to me everything that I have to do and how to activate it. I just activated my system yesterday, and so far it's doing pretty good.

I will recommend them. I was with another company, and I had to call them 3 times before they could even get the armbands to me'they had the wrong address. That's one reason I switched to MobileHelp. I haven't had to use it yet, but I do wear it all the time. When I first got it, I didn't know whether it worked or not, so I pushed the buttons just to do it, and they came on right away, even though they told me "don't just do it like that to see if it works."

I went with MobileHelp since they are the supplier for most of the other companies. The alert devices are fine. For my use, I have to switch back and forth between them, but that doesn't seem to be a problem, so I like it. I haven't had to use it yet, but they have taken calls that have been accidental with an excellent response, almost immediately. I've been referring it to other folks and they're getting very interested in it.

I received notifications from other companies and they weren't as knowledgeable or helpful as MobileHelp was. I had gone into the hospital three different times and I didn't have the MobileHelp yet. Probably would have been very handy to have it; that's one of the reasons I got it. The pendant is smaller than others, and with MobileHelp, I can extend it to go all over the United States. I just used it the other day to make sure that it was working, and the man was very helpful.

They notified me very fast when she did it; it didn't take long at all. They're on time, I don't have to wait. It's good to have in case of emergency, in case I can't get to my phone or anything. I will just go ahead and push the button, and someone will come on my little intercom to find out if everything's okay. Not even only me, but if anybody else who's in the house is okay.

My son bought it for me. I didn't want to wear one, but he said it made him feel better. If I had been the one buying this myself, I would have looked into things further. I called to test, and they did a fine job of answering my questions and testing it. I wear one of the things all the time, but I think it's kind of ridiculous that you have to take the other part of it with you if you go any place. There are others that don't do that, where the mobile device has a battery in it, and it answers without carrying an extra piece. I don't think you should have to carry two things. With this one, if the thing you wear on your wrist is the thing you push and you don't have the other thing with you, it's of no use at all.

I wanted one that would let me travel. It's good to have in case you fall or something, and you can just push the button on your wrist and get help. If you need a cop or something all you do is push the button and they'll notify the police department where you're at. They are quick about responding when you need help.

There's a couple of them that I thought were good, but MobileHelp had that mobile system over their competitors. I really think they're kind of expensive , but if I didn't trust them I wouldn't have selected this service. They've always answered my questions promptly and completely, and they tried to be as helpful as they possibly can. The device definitely works.

I did some research and thought they offered the most opportunities for different kinds of that type of care. They've been very helpful and understanding, and everytime I called they've been right there to answer my questions. I just received it recently, and when the first one came, the package was beeping when it arrived, so I called the company. They were very nice, and they had me send it back. Within a week I had a new one, and so far that's working very well. In fact, it works so well that I bent over and an ambulance came. I think people better know how sensitive it is! I had no idea how sensitive the units are, and you have to be careful, because you can set it off a lot more easily than I thought. Aside from that, I think the device quality is very good.

I researched and narrowed it down to the top 2, and I finally decided that because MobileHelp offered the same thing as the 2nd one, and yet they are the ones that make some of their own equipment and sell it to the 2nd one, that means they're better. Their price was a little bet less, too, and they had everything I wanted. I sleep with my bracelet, and I have the GPS unit charging near my bed, so that I can hear it if I need it during the night. When I wake up I use the pendant that will detect if I fall. I put that on while I take a shower and when I go walking, and then I go back to my wristband, and I go to my office with my GPS unit next to it. I had my pendant go off a couple of times and their response was immediate. They called back the next day to give me some tips on what I could do to avoid a false alarm, so they have been very fast in response, and very good in giving me ideas in how to use it and how to manage it better. I haven't really gone through anything except those false alarms, but they showed it is working very well, maybe too well. I think that the pendant is a little bit too sensitive, or I am too active for it, but that's a good problem. It's better for it to be wrong by calling a false alarm, than to let me lie there needing help and not calling at all. I really think they have a wonderful company, and a wonderful product. I'm just going to change the pendant that's so sensitive. I think I'm too active'if I bend down to get a soap from the shower or something that falls on the floor, it goes off thinking that I fell'and so I really think that I'm not yet at the stage in my life where I need that pendant, but I know where to get it when I do need it.

I think the fact that I could take the device with me was key to deciding on MobileHelp. I haven't had to use it or their customer support yet, so I guess it's good. I don't like the little charging device because I don't think it charges very much, and I don't like having to charge it when I come home because I don't remember to do it. I would rather have a device that I don't have to charge. I think other companies that I know of don't have a charging device, so if I had to change I would change because of that. I don't like having to come home and remember to take it out of my purse and charge it. That's the part I don't like. Other than that, I'm happy with it.

Our daughter had done some research on it, and that she suggested it for us, so we we talked to their representative and liked what we heard.

We'd get a call right away when it goes off, to let us know and to find out if we need help. My wife has fallen three different times, and it really hasn't gone off then.

This is the first time we signed up for anything like this, but I think their customer service people are great. I have given the company name to 2 of our friends, I hope they contact them. I think we feel safer. When we take a walk in a park or something we can feel safe; if something happens, somebody can come and help. We're elderly and we live in a rather remote area. We think it'd be good to have in case of a fall or some emergency like a stroke or heart attack. So far it's great service.

The ratings it had made me decide it would be my best option. I wear it all the time, I've only had one experience where I didn't fall or anything; it just called me and I don't know what I did.

If I'm working outside on our twenty acres, and something happens, I can talk to somebody, or if I accidentally hit the button I can immediately talk to somebody and cancel the call. I've got the wrist unit on most of the time. It doesn't rotate around, even though I'm small, and they gave me the neck pendant too. I wore the pendant yesterday and it was it was quite uncomfortable. It was really rough on my neck, so I had to put on a turtleneck and put the pendant around the collar instead of just against my bare skin. The one interaction I have had so far is with the person who I spoke with when I was trying to figure out how to set the unit up. I had some other questions, and they were very nice, very clear, and they treated me like a normal human being, instead of being condescending like some people are to older people.

I had Life Alert and it was good, but I just started to change because I wanted to get rid of my landline. They got to where I didn't have to use it, and I could have stayed with them, but I was already talking about it and so I got Mobile Help. It's a good company. There's nothing really wrong. They answer when I've accidentally touched the buttons. This string they put the pendant on is the only thing I would complain about. It's too long, and there's no easy way to adjust it.
