Wendy Zimmerman Detroit, MI

This system was not a good choice for us. We were advised by the sales rep to try using the mobile device as a base on the main floor for easier access to take it when she leaves the house and the base unit by her bed upstairs. She couldn't hear the call center representative on the mobile device when she pushed her button. We were told by company representative that there is no volume control for the mobile device. The GPS and fall protection features and ability to talk to the call center representative through the pendant are in the mobile pendant only. The other pendant only communicates with the call center representative through the base unit. And there is no technical support one of the devices malfunctions after normal customer service and technical support business hours. We are returning all of the equipment for a full refund and choosing a different company.

AVIOD AT ALL COSTS! Due to my father's failing health I had to sign up from medical alert account. After weeks of research I ended up choosing Mobilehelp. They had all the right answers to all of my questions. We had the account for approximately 6 months. My father had one occasion to push the button during that period which was on a Sunday. The unit did not work! Upon trying to contact a representative all the messages told us the company was closed and to contact them the following business day which was Monday. Unfortunately my father passed away January of 2021. I contacted the company informing them of his passing and to find out what needed to be done to return the equipment and receive a prorated refund. The representative gave me tons of steps that needed to be followed in order to get the refund due. After following the steps and contacting the company weeks later to verify everything was received and in order I was informed that it would take 30 plus days to receive any refund. After waiting 30 days and still not receiving any refund I again contacted the company. It was at that point I was told that a check had been issued to my deceased father's previous address and was made out payable to my father and my father only. I told the representative I was dumbfounded that a check would be made payable to my father when they had been informed that my father was no longer alive. The representative informed me there was nothing she could do and if I wanted to correct their mistake it would cost me an additional $30. It was at that point I requested to speak to a supervisor and was informed that speaking to a supervisor would not be possible. After 40 minutes of conversing with the customer service representative I was told as a courtesy to me they would waive the $30 required to fix their mistake and a new check would be issued in my name payable to me. When I inquired as to why they couldn't just refund to the original form of payment the answer I was given was "I don't know it's just not possible". When I inquired as to when the new check would be issued again the response was they could not answer the question but checks are issued every Friday. It's been 3 weeks and I contacted the company again today. All the notes regarding the mistakes the company has made were notated on the account. Yet no check has been issued and no additional answers were given. Even when I inquired as to why a check would be knowingly issued payable in a deceased name again no explanation was given. In all the steps involved in closing out my father's estate Mobilehelp has been by far and away the most difficult, most incompetent and most stressful. Incidentally and worthy of note… I tried to leave a similar review on the company's website and received a site error message. But when I put a bogus positive review as a test it was accepted without issue. Go figure. I cannot stress enough how highly I would recommend avoiding this company. They are terrible.

After a brief usage with this phone, I will be DROPPING this service. The Billing went from $50.00 for UNLIMITED to overage fees charged. The website did not accurately paint the same picture about my bill. My online account said $0.00 due but they turned off the phone because of "OVERAGE" fees that were seeing - calls to Puerto Rico. There was no forewarning that they were turning off the phone. I could not see any of this on my bill!!!! I am extremely angry that this phone has cost me tripple the amount than what I was lead to believe. Billing is not as transparent. When asked about turning off the phone, they couldn't even direct me to the policy in contract (most likely it is not there). DO NOT GET INTO THIS BILLING TRAP!

They were quick to take my payment for the equipment and service for the 1st year in full. (I live 300 miles from my mother, they were ask to call her, set up the equipment and make sure she would be good to go) Unfortunately it took them almost 90 days to attempt to get the service online. Upon working with my mother, the technician noted in the note section that due to my mothers address AT&T service will not be reliable in a mobile home. Thirty days later, after I called them, my mother received a return label. Now it has been over 150 days, they were KIND enough to prorate my refund for a service that did not work a single day. They like most are all smiles when everything works as marketed but, when things are difficult they take advantage of the elderly and their lack of knowledge! I would not call these people to monitor my pets!!!!!!!!! Jason

I was told I if I paid for the FULL Year, I would get a discount. Unfortunately, I used the service for six months so I lost my discount. I should have received a refund of $235.00 and got $147.92 instead because of the interesting way they compute usage if the year is not complete. Think twice before using them because they are “stealing” money from you! How many senior citizens do you know that will use the service for EXACTLY 365 days....life is not that regulated! Go with a company that is honest in their fees they will charge you....

Hi Sherrie. We are sorry to hear about your frustration with your refund. You can view our return policy here on our website under "return policy", as well as, it is listed on the terms and conditions of service that you receive in your box and an electronic copy. It states, you may receive a prorated refund, based on the non-discounted monthly rate, after we receive your complete system. When you sign up for service with annual plan, you are given a larger discount under the consideration you have elected to stay with us for a longer period of time, if you cancel before the time you originally selected, your discount is removed and your refund is based on the non-discounted monthly rate of the service for the plan you have selected.

Please let us know if you any further assistance.

Thank you for being a valued part of the MobileHelp family.

Don't let the $19.95 price grab you. Although this is a very good item to have, if you are disabled/senior/handicapped, You will definitely need the extentions that cost double. This program is too costly for those of us who need it, to afford.

Hi,

Our $19.95 plan provides coverage in the home with just the press of the button. If you need to add a fall detection pendant, that is only an extra $10 per month, making your total monthly payment $29.95. We would love to speak to you further about pricing and plans, to see what would be the best option for you. Please contact us at 800-916-3067. Kind Regards, MobileHelp

The fall detection option didn't work for me because it was too sensitive and constantly went off. Now I find the wrist one is making my wrist develop rashes. I have very sensitive skin. Must be something not good in the Plastic band. I will most likely cancel service.

Ollie,

We do not have a contract, you can cancel at anytime, which is why there is no length of time/cost mentioned on the document you received in the mail. As Rodney explained to you, what you received in the mail was the monitoring service agreement. Monitoring Service Agreement lists your emergency contacts, that you understand that you must contact MobileHelp to make any billing changes, that you understand if you want to cancel the service you must return the equipment and how the service works. You sign and return it stating that you understand those terms & conditions. However, if a subscriber elects not to sign and return it, then that is their prerogative, since it is not a contract. We attempted to explain this to you in a follow up call, but you had stated you had already sent the system back. We wish you had given us an opportunity to provide you our services. If you change your mind, please don't hesitate to contact us!

Best Regards,

Janice Sullivan Lakeland, FL

I paid up front $513 for 13 months of the base with the mobile unit along with a fall detect necklace and a bracelet. I accidentally pressed the fall detect a couple of times. I had the mobile receiver in my pocket. But the sound was so loud from the speaker that I could not understand them and they could not understand me. So they called me on my cell phone. Hey I can call for help on my cell phone without them! I called tech support 4 times over this issue and was finally told that they can't adjust the sound level on their mobile receiver speaker. So unless I fall on the plugged inbase unit, I can't communicate with them without using my cell phone. Before they got my $513, I was told that if I wasn't happy with it that it would be shipped back for free. Well, today I find out I get to pay for the shipping. Now isn't that insult injury! Buyer beware!!!

Jean sewell Kaaawa, HI

I had Mobile Help for almost 2 years and I got it for a different reason other than falling. I have terminal heart condition and can have heart attacks jokes in faint at any moment . I provided all of my medical history at the time I signed up along with doctors names hospitals medications taken and was told this would be transmitted to anyone who came to my aid so that they would be well informed as to where to send me who to call what to do ? That was not the case as I called the service the other day for an emergency and found out that neither responder firefighters and or ambulance had any medical history on me at all other than my address ? I wanted to be secure in knowing that if I was not conscious that the responders would have all my medical information and be able to act accordingly but now I am told I misunderstood. I did not need to pay $50 a month to push a button to have them do what I could do on my own by pushing my cell phone emergency button . If you just want someone to know when you fall and respond then this is probably a good service I wanted someone to know when I fell was unconscious and had all the background information to make informed decisions when they got to me ? The cancellation rate was rude and acted like I was unimportant and was uninformed on my own! Really . So I would suggest everyone have a false alarm just to see if you’re getting the service that you’re actually paying for before waiting years to find out you’re not getting what you’re paying for .

The whole idea of the service is excellent. It is a shame that you have one very major downside. The button on the watch and necklace is too difficult for an elderly person to press. So, our system is really worthless. My 97 year old mother in law cannot press the button on the watch or necklace. She can press it on the remote unit. I called to see if there were other items that we could try that would be easier for her to press and the answer was that we could pay for something different. Your advertisement should really show the truth. You have to be strong enough to press the button for it to work for you. or, you have to have someone who is stronger to press the button. You should work with the manufacturer to make the necklace and watch better for everyone. I will be glad to discuss this with you.

Overall good experience so far, but in my opinion, the time it takes for someone to answer an alarm is too long. Sales rep told me it would take 15-30 seconds. After I got the unit, customer support told me the average time is 90 seconds. Based on 2 tests I ran, the 90 seconds seems accurate. Since I already have a landline based system that takes 1/2 that time, I sent the MobileHelp system back. Yet to get a refund, lets see..........
