I have no idea how to rate MG. I have it, I feel more secure and that's it. I have not had to use it and for that I am grateful. My only issue is that it is inconvenient to have to carry the device everywhere, but without it, the whole thing is useless. .

Had trouble with my device. Completely discharged while in the charging cradle overnight. Customer service mailed me a replacement charging cradle and the unit appears to work properly once again.

The only reason I ratedthem a 4 is that, when I pressed the button, it took several minutes before they answered and then I had to wait another 15 minutes before the emergency services arrived.

Customer service properly answered all of our questions when we were deciding which medical alert system to sign up with. The one time my mother used the device, it seemed as though we had to wait for an answer for a while.

When I accidentally pressed the button, they answered and did exactly what they told me they would do when I bought the service. I found the little thing I had to carry around with me was awkward so it was hard to figure out what to carry it in.

There have been a lot of falls which I don't understand. There were a couple of times they were supposed to call me back and I haven't received any calls. There was one time where I tried it and I thought I would get a call back and next thing I knew, the fire department was there but I never got a call or received a response on the device.

Every time I have tested it, it has worked perfectly. However, they are based back East, and I would feel more comfortable if they had an office out here in the West.

I think that the buttons are nice and large. I think the option of having a necklace or a watch is good as well. When we call in for a test, it does quite a few rings until it's picked up.

I fell in the bedroom and they called my daughter who lives 45 minutes away. She told them to send the ambulance. We could have avoided that if she called the neighbors first.

I have fallen with it on and it has not buzzed. The speaker didn't come on. That happened several times. I wanted to wear the watch and I thought you could wear the watch and not wear the little square box, which you have to have with you. It is not what I expected. I wanted to wear the watch with the services on the watch as it is not as obvious as the necklace.

It seems like when it says "call in progress" and you can't stop the call from going through once the button is pushed. Between the time that I press the button and get a response, it's not as fast as I would really like.

It doesn't work as well as I'd hoped. When I call or press the button I get a signal and says my call is in progress but then nobody calls me back. It's difficult to talk to one of their representatives, the phone is either busy or nobody is there.
