I dont use the system, its for my mother. Although it was easy to order and set up, I spent numerous phone calls attempting to get my mother checking account credited for an unauthorized debit of approx. $348.00. To date I have referred 3 friends and relatives to other companies and they have not had any complaints with being overcharged and needed to fight to be get it credited. I will not utilize this company in the future, but will leave the unit "as-is" for my 91 yr old mother.

Very unhappy with the service. I would not recommend the company to anyone. My mother has been a costumer of Medical Alert for several years. Fortunately she has never needed to push the button for help ,however the button has gone off by accident way too many times. It’s very upsetting when this happens. Also , an employee called my 92 year old mostly deaf mother and sold her a fall detection necklace over the phone. It had to be apparent to the employee that my mother could not hear on the phone and had no idea that she was purchasing additional unneeded services. Very shameful and shady . I had to call the company and get her money back and then they only refunded half the money. I had to make a second call to get the other $30.00 back. We were just talking about getting rid of the service and buying an Apple Watch. Sincerely Denise Wells and Josephine Smith.

My mom has the Medical Alert" on the GO" fall detector. I'm extrememly disappointed that Medical Alert on the go does not include a care giver AP where I can GPS her loctation from a smart phone. We choose Medical Alert pendant starting in August 2019. Customer Service tells me there are no plans to make an AP available.

A huge pain to cancel service. My credit card account was charged in access of $500 annually and when my mother moved into assisted living and no longer had need of these services we were told they could not be discontinue until equipment was returned. In the midst of moving it took a while to remember to get the equipment boxed and returned. Once that was done and I called a month later to ask about my refund I was told that although the equpment had been received within 4 days of mailing I was supposed to call within 10 days to check so the cancellation date would be that day and funds would not be creditted back to my account for "25 business days." when I suggested that was unacceptable and ask to speak to a supervisor I was told the refund would be expedited and would show up on the account in "a couple of days." Two weeks later I just phoned again and was told that my refund occurred 2 days ago but would take a couple more days to show up on my account. Way overpriced service and poor way of treating customers.

We looked in to this situation and are very for any difficulties the customer experienced. Our prices are among the lowest in the industry, and the services we provide get an A+ from the BBB.

We see the customer called on 5/6/19 and requested a return label. Labels were sent to her on 5/6/19, 5/9/19 and 5/14/19.

We received the unit back on 6/17/19. There is a signed agreement from the customer where it clearly states the unit is billed until it is returned. The refund was processed within 3 weeks. If there is anything else we can do, please do let us know. Again, Connect America values our customers and we are sorry you had difficulties with the label and returning the equipment.

We were on automatic withdrawal for payments . The money was taken out of my account without advanced notice and ahead of when it was even due. We no longer need ed the equipment and iy was returned on the 6th of May . They received it on the 9th of May 2019. Called them on the 13th about my refund and was told it would take 5 to 7 days. Needless to say I still have not received my refund. Today I was told 2 different stories. One was that it takes up to 2 weeks and the other story was it could now take up to one month for my refund. It is starting to sound like a story . Now supposedly they will expedite my refund and it can take up to 72 hours. I don't feel I can believe them and will see what other options I have. They just seem to keep stalling .
