One of my kids checked it out on the internet and said it was the best one so I got it. I've only tested it so far. I had a thing that I could just clip on but it broke. They have sent me two already but they're different from the one I had. I keep telling them that I want one like the first one but they keep sending the wrong ones.

I had seen it advertised on a Sunday newspaper and after my kids pushed the issue I decided to get it. I haven't had to use it, thank goodness, but I wear the necklace.

My wife got it for me. They called the ambulance when I needed it, they were on the spot. The thing wore out on me though so I had to use the first year etiquette replacement they have.

When I was sick the service was suggested to me. I have used it whenever I need to call an ambulance. Their people are very knowledgeable and helpful. I feel very comfortable with it all.

I used to have it, but my daughter is taking care of me now so we got rid of it. In the time we had it I didn't really use it but customer service was always really sweet.

I got it since it was inexpensive and it does exactly what I need. I just leave it around my neck all day, whether I'm taking a shower or washing dishes. It just lives with me all night and day.

I just take it and hang the button around my neck. I had a stroke once and I used it then. They were useful then, but I think they could've done better. When that happened I wasn't told I should take my purse with me to the hospital, and I was Jane Doe for 24 hours. They should check to make sure their patients know those things.

The time that I needed it and used it, customer service was very very professional and good. Though I had one that failed and just didn't work. It would charge for 2-3 hours, and hold charge for 6 hours at most. They sent me a couple of necklace and buttons to try and fix it, but I kept telling them it was just with the charger, and that they needed to change that. They finally got it through their heads and sent me a whole new charging outlet. I do have my doubts on whether or not they're going to come if I need them. Whenever I do the monthly checks it takes really long, if I was on an emergency I would probably die before I got an answer.

I've had it for almost 2 years, and I can't say that I haven't fallen or anything. Though I can't remember much. I'd only say that the device is very hard to use and activate. Whenever I talk to customer service they have been very capable of answering my questions.

We usually don't use it, it's only there in case of emergency and we haven't needed it. One time we did press the button just to make sure it was working. The people in customer service seemed to be very knowledgeable and helpful.

I've had a pretty bad experience so far. I wouldn't say they are very trustworthy, there was a lot of incompetence when I had to deal with them. From the beginning, they mailed me two different sets of devices and charged me for both of them after my son had paid for everything with his credit card. It was very hard for us to get it all straightened out. I'm also not very comfortable with wearing either one of the devices. I never wear the wristwatch because the band irritates my wrists so it's hard to keep it on. As for the necklace, I usually have no issues if I wear it between an undershirt and a shirt. Those times I don't even know I have it on. However, during the summer weather I only wear a single shirt, so the device scratches against my chest. As for emergencies, I've never had a genuine one where I needed to use it, though I've had a couple of false alarms. During those experiences, I haven't had any problem. They are very understanding of the accidental activation and they respond quickly.

I never used them, I just trust them. I put the device on in the morning and wear it until I go to bed at night. As for their customer service, sometimes it's good, but sometimes they don't call me back when they're supposed to do so.

My Mom was able to get help when she fell in a ditch and broke her femur. For that I am truly grateful. I would give it 10 stars except for the fact that I have had some billing issues that have been difficult to resolve.

Medical Alert has a GPS and I can take it anywhere I want. I always put the lanyard around my neck and I put it in the charger. Half the time I forget about the GPS. Their representatives are very helpful and friendly. Nevertheless, sometimes when I take it off and put on my clothes the alarm goes off. It once went off and I couldn't get to it quick enough to turn it off and nobody responded. They were supposed to call my sister but she never received the call.

I have both the regular necklace and the fall detection necklace. It would be nice to have one combined necklace instead of having to wear one all the time and then change to the fall detector when I get in the shower.

Medical Alert has been a lifesaver for my husband. The one thing that prevented it from being a "10" is that there is no need to contact everyone on the emergency list once someone has been contacted.

My daughter purchased it for me, and did all the calling and ordering the system. She was afraid I'd fall again, and since she's at work most of the time, I'm usually by myself. I fell while she was here with me, so she called for help, but they never came. I wasn't completely satisfied with it because I was on the floor about like an hour, so I ended up calling the police department to come and get me off the floor. She was very dissatisfied with it because she called them about 3 times, and nobody ever called back.
