I got it for my husband because it was good anywhere, not just in my home. He has fallen quite a bit since we got it and we've used it to call 911 to get him back up. They've answered quickly and follow up with us well. They call us to let us know when they've sent someone our way and also to make sure that help actually arrived. The button is easy to use. It's also waterproof, so he can wear it in the shower. I'm very happy with them.

We use it every day and we take it with us even when we travel. Every time we accidentally call them, they contact us right away. The thing is easy to carry it and accessible. It is a little expensive, but in the end you pay for the features that you want. I think they should just keep doing what they're doing and they'll keep a lot of their customers happy.

The reviews that I saw for their costumer service convinced me. I also liked that we could stop the service when we wanted to, so I got it for my mom. She hasn't had to use it yet, than god for that, but she tests it and it has worked well. They've been very helpful whenever we do that or when we call them for other reasons. The button is small and there's only two of those so testing it is simple. It's also very loud, which is a good thing since it's easy to hear them when they come on.

I saw an ad for it in a magazine and decided to give them a call. The nicest man answered the phone and helped me get my mother signed up for it. She has used it several times and they've been wonderful. They've saved her life twice and have always taken good care of her. They're always here within minutes. The EMTs that they send are also great, they do an amazing job. It's a very inexpensive program, especially considering what you get for it. There is one issue with my billing that I'm still waiting on to see if they've resolved.

We did a lot of research and this one felt like it would suit my mother best. We've only had to use it once and it was by accident. She rolled over on the device and it went off. It wasn't a true medical need, but it showed just how good and fast they were. The response of the EMTs, the lock in the front door, and everything else was set up well and worked perfectly. Everything works the way it was intended to work. They're very trustworthy.

We were looking for something for my dad and they had more bell and whistles than their competitors. Along with the standard panic button, they had the GPS to track him, the fall detection button, etc. That's why I purchased this for my father. He fell once and had to use it. They responded well and the paramedics where there within minutes. Everything works as advertised. They're always very responsive and proactive. They call us whenever the batter gets low so we know ahead of time. We'll continue using the service as long as necessary.

We called different companies and felt that they were the most reasonable ones, so I got it for my dad. Sometimes it seems like it takes them a while to respond to the button push. It takes some 2 or 3 minutes before they answer whenever we do the testing. Sometimes it just depends on the environment but I don't really know. I get frustrated and if that happened in a true emergency it would be a problem. One day we couldn't find my dad, he had gone on one of his walks but hadn't told us about it. We were really concerned about him so we called them and they were able to locate him for us. It turned out he was just two blocks away and we felt relieved. Customer service is pretty good about responding to our questions. We've had some equipment problems but they were pretty good about correcting those situations. Sometimes it took a little while for them to fix it, but things turned out ok. I'm real happy about it.

About 8 years ago or so a salesman came in and told us about the service and we ended up getting it. Overall its a great device. I've had to use it several times and every time things were good. They call me to check on my device too and on one occasion we found out it wasn't working. We fixed the issue and I really appreciated what they did. There is one exception when there was an issue with the central office or something, but things were straightened out. They've always answered my questions.

I did an internet search and since they met our criteria we got it for my 96 year old mother. She falls down a lot and can't get up on her own, so she has pushed the button to get one of the neighbors or someone in the family to run over and help her. Sometimes emergency services come, but that's not always needed. They're very helpful and have given us great technical support so far. The base is great, but the battery life on the mobile device is too short. Still, we're very happy with it, we couldn't be more pleased.

I saw an ad for them in the paper, so gave them a call and asked a few questions. After that I decided to join in. I've only had it for 2 weeks but I wear it everyday. I put it on in the morning and in the evening I put the watch on. Whenever I leave the house I take the GPS with me. It is a little bit expensive to be honest. Last time I called customer service the woman that I talked to was not really nice, she had a bit of an attitude issue. I needed help with the necklace since the string is too long. I was trying to get someone that could help me make it shorter but she didn't know how to. Another issue is that the watch itself doesn't look like the one that they had advertised in their pictures. The one they had looked nicer and this one looks like a simpler form. I'd like to know if there's a way to change the one I have for the one they advertised.

I looked for a lot of them and Mobile Help seems to have a better plan; it was less expensive and had more goodies. I have not had to use it yet, thank goodness. I have my watch thing on 24 hours a day, and the regular thing at the tables next to me, and I feel secure. It's wearable anywhere, and that means I'm more comfortable. Of course, I have the watch one, so even at work I can push the button. I'm just more secure having it available.

A friend had one and she liked it. I think its a good value, and I'm assuming that it will work fine. I'm a little bit concerned about whether the little device you can carry with you will need a charge, and I'm always a little bit unsure as to when I should charge it, if it hasn't told me it needs it yet. Should I go ahead and charge it anyway before I'm going some place?

We chose them because I just liked their answers, and so far their responses have been great. They will call you every time the thing goes off, so they have a pretty good response time. It's for my mother. She uses it, and whenever she falls or trips or anything, it really alerts them; within five minutes I've got a call, and she's taken care of from that point. The device is easy to use. A little sensitive, but it's really easy to use.

I decided it was the best for me primarily because it was carried in the AARP magazine and I know that they deal specifically with older people. I am fairly new with it. I wear it, and I'm still trying to remember to take the mobile device with me when I leave the house; that's a little bit of a challenge. I have had to call a couple of times with questions.

I spoke to a couple of people from different companies. The person from MobileHelp that I spoke to gave me more information about the device and, since the price was reasonable, I went with it. Most of the time everything is alright. Unfortunately my husband has set off a lot of false alarms. It's just that the lanyard will think you've fallen if you sit down too quickly or if you do something to move it too much. The good thing is that system works fine. They respond to the alarms and talk to him through the speakers to make sure he's ok. I still wish the fall detector wasn't that sensitive.

I had a lot of problems in getting sick and falling down, so I thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and subscribe to it. It's convenient for me because I do a lot of walking and I've been in the hospital a few times now. It seems to have a pretty big coverage. When I subscribed they checked out the area that I'm in and said that it's well-covered, and that's something that I need. It covers me pretty much anywhere.

I have the one that you take with you, so I find that it's very convenient. I had an experience where my wrist unit accidentally hit a shelf or something in a convenience store, which was up in the mountains and surrounded by trees. I had wondered and actually called and asked previously to make sure I would have coverage in those areas, and sure enough I did. They've answered all my questions, they've been very understanding, like when I accidentally hit the alarm, and it's just always available. I originally chose them based on affordability.

The main thing was I could take it away from the house. It offered me everything I was looking for, as to when I live the house, where I am exactly. They could call in for me and know where I am and that would perhaps save my life if I had car problems. So I appreciate the service very much. Well i've been 100% satisfied with it and I know I'm going to have a long and happy business deal with them, I think the price is right and it holds the electricity for 36 hours I believe it is, it gives you plenty of time. I think its exactly what I'm looking for, I'm very pleased with it.

I went with them since I don't need to have a telephone connection, they do everything through satellite. That also means that they'll know exactly where I am if there's an emergency. I am well protected with this organization. About 2 or 3 months ago I had to call them, all I had to do is press the button and the police came to help me. I was very happy about that. I feel more secure having them than the other company that I was with before.

I already have recommended it to others. We got it for the advantages that they have with home security. We also wanted the mobile device in case something happens when my wife has to be in the car. Since we've had it, she had fallen in the kitchen and the person on the speaker phone asked her if everything was okay. She said yes and she was able to get up on her own that time. That was the only experience we've had. They responded right away. It works fabulous.

My children were the ones that got it for me in case I needed help but I don't really feel like I need it. I'm retired but fairly healthy, I do all of my own housework. I wear it, yeah, but I haven't had to push the button for help. I've talked to customer service a couple of times for small things, but nothing too bad. Right now I've had some trouble with the device that goes on my neck because it goes off on its own. When that happens they call me and ask me if I need any help. All I gotta say is 'no, I'm perfectly fine' and that's that. Because of that I don't sleep with it anymore. I don't know how fast they will be in an actual emergency. Maybe as I get older I might have more need for it so I'll let them continue with it.

I needed to have something that was not only in my home, but that could also come with me when I'm away from home, so I picked MobileHelp. Customer support helped me test the unit, I didn't have to figure that out on my own, they were helpful. Usually I have the wristband on and take the mobile device with me when I go out, though I haven't had to use it yet. They're always there for you if you push the button though. It's a very convenient service. It's fairly similar to other products in terms of the monetary value they have.

They have everything I need for medical alert. I live alone and need to have some security in case I fall. I can wear it around my neck or on my arm and they'll always be available. My only concern right now is with the extra unit that you have to carry with when you go out. I'd like them to make it so you don't have to do that since I don't have any pockets or anything where I can put the box when I leave. Either that or make it more compact.

I needed Mobile Help because I live alone, and if something were to happen to me, no one would know. They were very knowledgeable whenever I called in, pushing the button to check and see if it's activated. It's comfortable. I can take the little gadget with me when I go out and I don't have to worry about putting on the armband on my arm which is very uncomfortable. I just put the pendant around my neck and carry the mobile device in my purse. That makes it more convenient to get it if I needed it while I was out in public.

I did some investigation on the different services out there and this one seemed like the best one. I have some objections with the system, one of them is that the button is too sensitive. Anytime I even slightly touch it, it goes off. Still, they have been very responsive every time that happens, even when it's not an actual emergency. I really appreciate that. The system is easy to understand and set up. Though another thing I don't quite like is that I have to be in the same room where the GPS unit is if I want to talk to them. I have to take that with me everywhere to talk to the person, even if I'm just in my bathroom. If they made it so you can talk to them through the necklace unit that would be a great plus.

With the price that you pay for it you get a necklace, the wristband, and the button you can put on your waist. That way you have different options to get in touch with someone in case you fall.

I picked it since I liked the features that they have, especially the fall detection feature. That one in particular was a deal breaker when I looked around. I have it now and luckily I haven't had to use it yet. I just wear it on my neck in case I need it and it's mostly good. I've only had problems with the part that holds the button. It's constantly turning backwards, no matter what way I put it on. Other than that though, it's wonderful. There was an occasion where the alert went off accidentally and they called my emergency contacts immediately. My daughter and granddaughter came out running to check in on me. When I called them back to tell them things were just fine they took care of everything. There was another false alarm like that one and I still don't quite understand why that happened. Especially since I wasn't even wearing the necklace at the time. I feel safe with it though.
