We have tested it. One of my nieces was in town and hit the button and I didn't know what she was doing and the customer service responded immediately and asking if there was a problem.

The customer service called twice to follow up and make sure I was using it correctly. It doesn't take anything or for you know anything, you just have that thing around your neck or in your pocket and you're ready to go.

Everybody's been pretty helpful and they've been very calm. There's only one speaker and one base unit and it would be great if the little pendant had a speaker. Overall, we've had a good experience.

The customer service was just very courteous. They explained everything to me. It was my understanding that my billing would come on my email every month. They did not explain the second payment also goes on my credit card but we got that straightened out and now I understand. They did not explain it fully though.

The customer support is very quick to respond and take care of any problems. I think it's bulky to wear around the neck for an older person. I wish it could be a little bit smaller for the necklace.

It seems to work and my family is satisfied that I have a system that works. I'm presently wearing the wrist band and when I leave the house I carry the device with me. I inadvertently pressed the button a couple different times and they got right back to me and reset my system.

I liked the fact that they have a signaling device and that it's got a GPS so that that allows me to go on road trips and not have to be dragging myself by charger base unit with me. The device is kind of bulky.

We decided on them because of Consumer Reports. They got the ambulance here right away when the patient fell and I know that they care. They've done what they claimed they were going to do.

The one time I did have to deal with customer support, they called to let me know that the alert had been set off and they had been trying to reach my mother but then they never called back to tell me that they had been able to get a hold of her. One thing I would like to share is that it is large enough that even if she give someone a hug, she's concerned she's going to set it off. She did set it off once by just giving someone a hug, so the size of it is an issue.

Unfortunately, when I had to use it I was in another room and I could not hear the operator speaking on the speaker device. I thought you were supposed to be able to hear that throughout the condo period, unfortunately it did not work that way and I couldn't hear it and they couldn't hear me. It is very hard to get in the right position on my wrist so that it's like a watch and doesn't slide around.

Overall it's been fine. I chose it because of a combination of the size, what it could do, and the cost. I have had no negative experiences but it also hasn't been spectacular. This was a convenient way for us to make sure each of those got the attention when they needed.

I was disappointed how long it took for some calls to be answered from the customer service. I think it should be told in the information that you have to get the monitoring system in order for it to work. It doesn't tell you that on anything. When I have talk to people I've been very impressed in their understanding and their timing.

It seems that even the slightest jar causes the "fall detected" alert to be activated. I appreciate the quickness of the response but hate the feeling that I am taking up valuable time. This most often happens when I am taking off the device to put it in the charger.

One of the problems we had is that we would test it and it would say that it wouldn't go through, but it was frustrating that I tried to use just the regular medical guardian contact button and it would go through. They wouldn't answer when we were doing the testing but other than that the customer support was very kind and they got everything out on time.

The device is easy, it's insured, and I can take it with me if I leave the house or if I stay home, even in the shower. I chose them because they provide more equipment than any of the other services and for the price.
