This device was purchased for a family member (89 years old); Although he has accidentally pressed the call button twice, I received the text message but no emergency personnel was sent......not sure if this is comforting or not.

My mom lives in the country. She is able to get a person every time she does her monthly checks. She has not had to use it for an emergency yet, thank the Lord, but we rest easier knowing she has it. She loves the bracelet.

the one time I used your service when a tree fell pulling all the wires off the house at 12 midnight during a storm it took 5 minutes for someone to answer after I pushed my call button -that disturbed me. The time frame seemed a lot if I was injured or having a heart attack that may have been to long..

Kathleen, thank you for reaching out. 5 minutes is well outside of the standard amount of time it should take for a button press to go through. We will have a member of our technical support team reach out to discuss your concerns and troubleshoot. We appreciate the feedback!

I got it simply because I wanted to try it. Customer support called me once and that went ok, though that was the only time I've talked with them. I take it with me in the little case it has whenever I go out shopping or something. It all looks like it works.

I didn't pick it, my daughter bought it for me. I've never had to use it, I just wear the necklace and that one is easy to wear. When I call in for testing it takes a long time for them to answer though. It usually rings up to 10 times before they pick up.

We were looking for something and since their price was better than the other one so we got it for my son. He's hadicapped and doesn't have full control of his hands, so sometimes it's a bit hard for him to push it. We haven't had to use it, but I've pushed the button by accident and they answered alright.

I picked them because of the price. I've never had to use it, thank goodness, but when I push the button I don't really get to talk to anybody until they talk to me first.

I looked up different services posted online and chose Medical Guardian. We were very satisfied with the set up process and the initial call that we made. Any time we've called with a concern it doesn't take them long to answer. We test the device every month and thankfully I haven't had to use it. The button is comfortable to use and they give you the option of wearing the necklace or the bracelet. My one concern is how long it takes them to answer to a call when you press the button. I think it's an unacceptable amount of time and it's extremely concerning.

My granddaughters got it for me. They've been very responsive so far. I have not had to use it but a couple of times it has gone off automatically. They call me back whenever that happens and are very pleasant. I don't like the bracelet and since I have a pacemaker I can't really wear the necklace so I'm kind of stuck there. Still I feel more secure having it.

They came up on the internet while I was looking for a different service that had like a phone that you can use to talk to a person and I ended up signing up for it. Customer service was good with the set up part of it. I have not had to use it, I just carry the cellphone bit with me just in case. Though I don't like that I have to carry the extra piece along with the button itself when I leave. I'd prefer to have something that's all in one. I'm actually going to be dropping them soon.

Looking around it just looked like the other just had too many features that I really didn't need. One day I was walking a bit and started getting short of breath so I pushed the button.

They just kind of came along at the right time when I was looking for a service like theirs. I haven't used it for a real emergency yet, but a couple of times I've accidentally pushed the button and they've answered well to everything. The black cord for the button that goes around your neck has a very peculiar arrangement of things. I haven't been able to figure out how you put it on or take it off.
