Since I drive all over Florida on my own I wanted to have some extra security. I like that when I push the button to call them, somebody is there to answer me, even if it does take them a couple of minutes to come on. When I used it while I was up north, it only took them 60 seconds to respond to me.

I got this one because it's local. I'd had another one and it didn't work. Most of the time I use Mobile Help when I go outside. It's dependable, and it works. My son in law accidentally dropped it in a little dish that I have, and boy, within a second the phone was ringing, and the system was running.

I chose MobileHelp because it's very responsive. During testing, I had someone contact me. They were very courteous, very responsive, and they explained things easily. They were quick to answer my questions and informative. They provided a lot of tools to use, especially in the car, which makes me feel a lot safer. I'm much more comfortable.

I liked them best because they don't have a long term contract. We haven't had to use it, and that's a good thing. They were very good on the phone when we contacted them, explaining things. They were very friendly and the devices are user-friendly. It's very, very accessible.

I researched 3 different companies with the help of my sons. We all decided that this one was probably the one that would cover most of the things that we needed, so we went with it. The equipment is very convenient. The device doesn't get in the way or anything and I can carry it with me whenever I travel.

I found them on the internet and the cost and coverage that they offered was what convinced me of getting it. My one concern is that the wrist button goes off on its own quite often. Still, customer support has been very courteous and helpful about it.

They don't have trouble connecting; they have WiFi and I like that. I wear the necklace because it's more comfortable. For showering I don't even have to take it off. It's real convenient. They are very wise when I call them.

I had to call for help once due to breathing problems, and I'm glad to have Mobile Help, knowing that they'll help get the right people to assist me. Other companies didn't respond as quickly as they do. The response that I got was quick, and they stayed and helped me very well.

The customer service was high quality. They are very responsive, very polite, and able to give me a lot of assistance. This device is for my mother. She doesn't like the wrist device, so she won't wear it. She wears the device around her neck, and we've had a couple of false alarms.

The service was recommended by the person's daughter in law. He hasn't used it, but one night when he was sleeping he rolled over on it and set it off accidentally. They called him and his daughter in law right away. The EMTs were here before she could come, even though she lives half a mile away. They were just very quick.

I'm handicapped and I fall a lot, so I needed something like this. I actually tried a different service, but it didn't work out right, so I switched to MobileHelp. I used it last November when I fell. They helped me get to the hospital and I ended up being admitted. I did have to wait for a while for the fireman to come and help me. I've never had any problems with it though.

I'm still not completely settled on the company to be honest. With the first company that we tried he had a limited range of mobility, he couldn't go too far. That was definitely a drawback, so we switched to MobileHelp since they had the unit that you can use no matter where you are. It's almost like a cellphone, but it connects directly to health services. There was a time when the phone part wasn't working so I called them and we got support immediately. They told me what I needed to do and the situation was corrected easily. I do wish they had a similar system to what Verizon used tot have. They had this service that had a smaller device that just hung around your neck. It could go everywhere and act just like a cellphone: you could talk through it and speak with an operator. I'm not sure this one works like that, there's no back and forth I think.

Dear Richard,

Thank you for your review. There is 2-way communication with dispatch through your mobile device and your base station. The mobile device is the handheld device that sits in the charging cradle that you take with you when you leave you home. There are no speakers in the help buttons that go around your neck on on your wrist. We would be happy to go over the equipment with you to make sure you understand how everything works together. Please call Technical Support at 877-827-6207, Option 1 at your earliest convenience. Thank you for being a valued part of the MobileHelp family! Sincerely, MobileHelp Customer Service

I read some information about the services with the best value and they came up. Usually, I wear the necklace when I'm at home and I ended up canceling the outdoor device since I don't need it, I have my own cellphone. The device seems to be very reliable and high tech though. Customer support seems to be very thorough and helpful. I've called a couple of times because of false alarms.

I think it's a great program, but I was never able to get on it since I'm on social security for dissability, I just couldn't afford it. They sent me the box and everything, but I had to go and return it. They were very nice and kind to me though and I really liked that it had the GPS.

I got it since I live alone and fall down a lot. I have no concerns about the button, I'm very comfortable with it. If something happens, I can just push the button and someone will be there right away. I can go anywhere I want to go since it works all over the United States.

I saw the TV ads and was attracted by the options that they gave you. They cover you even when you were away from home. I don't go out as much anymore, but it was important to me to try and maintain that mobility as much as I could. I was really impressed with the key lock they put on my door knob. At first I couldn't find all the components that the manual said I should have, so I called tech support to figure that out. They were able to check with me and they assured me that I had all of those things and that it was all working correctly. They took me to the procedure to check on everything too. I was favorably impressed by that. Right now I'm a little concerned about the distance between me and the main base unit. If something happens, I don't know if I'll be close enough to the base station for the push or the fall to register. I also don't know if I'd be close enough to it to be heard. Aside from that I was disappointed to find out that it doesn't work in Canada since I'm currently working towards moving there.

Dear David Gillett,

Thank you for your review. You must be within 600 feet of the base station to send a signal from your help button. That is about the length of 2 football fields. If dispatch is not able to make contact with you over the base station or when they call your phone number, after you have pressed your button for help, they will dispatch EMS. If you have additional questions, feel free to reply to this message or contact Technical Support at 877-827-6207, Option 1.

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

Since the price and the equipment were better, I decided to go wit Mobile Help. We haven't had an emergency where we needed to press the button though. My husband wears the pendant and since he hasn't complained about it I assume it's ok. They're very good.

I live alone and since I'm 61 years old and not getting any younger I thought it would be good to get it. So far I've just tested it, I have yet to call for help. I've set off the necklace and bracelet accidentally a couple of times too. Every time they've answered in a reasonable amount of time. It gives me security. For $30 a month, which would be the price of a good dinner, it's worth it. In fact, I think they're worth more than $1 a day.

I had read a pamphlet about them and since they seemed to have what I needed I decided to give it a try. I actually had to call them because the button has gone off for no reason. Sometimes it goes off if I sit down and sometimes even if I'm just sitting still. Technical support helped me out and gave me some options and things to try for a week so we could figure out just what the problem was. If things don't work out, they will just send me a new pendant. They're still helping me figure that out, but they've been doing a good job.

Found out about Mobile Help from someone who is using the company. He was very happy with their response in time of distress. I have had Mobile Help for only 2 months and have not needed to use it. The sales person was very informative. I thought the price satisfactory. I opted for a year and have both the at home and away monitors. It arrived quickly and nicely packed. I guess the true test is if and when I need their help. Also opted for the extra warranty.

I was getting rid of the other one I had since my button just wasn't working at all. I was trying to file a claim with the attorney general's office against them and MobileHelp just happened to call me when I was fed up. I liked their products and they even offered me a lock box which I thought was a great asset. That way, the paramedicts don't need to break down my door just to get to me. Because of all of that, I decided to take the offer. I've accidentally set it off at night when I'm getting ready for bed. Sometimes I lie down on the wrong side of it and push it, so they call me. It seems to work, though the only thing I don't like about it is that it seems to take an awfully long time for somebody to get on the line with me. It's probably no more than a minute, but through it all the machine keeps saying 'There's a medical alert' or 'They're going to help you' and it just seems to take forever. If I was in serious trouble I wouldn't want to wait that long for them, they need to speed it up in some way. They were very nice and I apologized for the false alarm. Maybe they could've taken care of a real emergency then, but they were very nice when we talked. It's awfully expensive though...I really can't afford that much money. I've seen some other ones that might be a better deal than this one.

We checked some of the companies and we felt that MobileHelp was the best for us. My wife is the one that wears it all the time around the house and when we go out too. The equipment is convenient, we got the mobile one to take out, one unit for the house, and the little base unit that stays in the house. We haven't run into any problems or anything. Though, almost a month ago, my wife did fall but the thing didn't go off.

I went with them mainly because they were the primary manufacturers of most of the other mobile alert devices. Besides, they had a competitive pricing program, a flexible payment schedule, and they were very willing to accommodate my situation. Because of that I felt they were the best equipped and reputable provider on the market. I also liked that their support representatives are all located in the US, that way I can avoid the oversees help desk type of people. I haven't had the opportunity to use it, but I keep the mobile monitor next to my bed and keep the base monitor in the living room. I kinda hope I don't have to use it but it's reassuring to have, particularly when I'm alone at home.
