SOS Mobile GPS – 24/7 Medical Alert with Optional Fall Detection for Seniors – Call to Activate – 4G GPS Medical Alert System with Elderly Tracking – Panic Button for Seniors

If you are getting older and live alone, this is something you should seriously consider obtaining.
I didn’t like buying this, but after two “semi-controlled excursion to prone’, and the inability to get up on my own where it took way too long to get to my phone, I decided I needed to get something like this. I’m 70 so I guess it was inevitable. It comes with a substantial belt clip and a neck lanyard. It is well built, and I find myself being able to ignore it hanging around my neck.While getting used to wearing it I managed to trigger the alarm accidentally. I wad connected immediately both times. The system uses a semi-automated answering system to determine what help is needed. Since both times were accidental I just said so and the system disconnected. I haven’t had to use it in a real emergency so I can’t speak to what would happen next.The compact USB charging base sits next to my computer and is very compact and easy to correctly place the pendant in. There is a recorded response that plays to let one know it is charging. The two times the battery was getting low I got an email to that effect to warm we. The lanyard supplied fits easily over my head, had has a magnetic catch to facilitate on/off access if one had troubles getting the lanyard over the head.There is a $30 service fee, which I feel is very reasonable for the service provided. All in all I am pleased my purchase.

Don’t know what happened
I had just activated my unit during the week and on Saturday gave both my sons the phone number of the emergency services so that they would know who was calling if that number came up on their phones. later that day while we were eating dinner my phone rang showing a possible scam so I didn’t answer. Next thing my sons phone rang showing the emergency call service. they told him my alarm had gone off. I never heard a message that my alarm was activated. If these units are that sensitive I want no part of them. I haven’t carried mine since that day.

Easy to use but my MIL finds the blinking light annoying
We’ve been worried about my widowed mother in law living on her own, so we got her this to ensure her safety. It’s easy to use—it talks to her to tell her when it needs to be charged, which is really useful. Also, my husband can track her location in the phone app when she’s driving. If she doesn’t move for too long it’ll alert him too. Her only complaint is that it has a blinking light that she finds annoying, so they covered it with a Band-Aid. Problem solved. It’s inexpensive to use and has all the features she (and we) need, so it’s worth it.

Worked well…to start with
Although I had been pleased with the unit to start with, I found that it had stopped working suddenly. I tried to check functionality on my cell phone but recorded message stated that the cell signal was not available. My computer measured a download speed of 200 Mgps, so that was silly. Our phones were working. I reset the password and reinstalled the app on my phone. Restarted the phone. Nothing. I finally got a response on the unit and assured that I was testing. It confirmed the testing status. Site on phone still not working. I finally searched the website on my computer and found a way to download the app to my phone, which did the trick. In the meantime, local dispatch called and a local ambulance member showed up at the door. Really not too sure i want to keep this unit for 45.00 per month right now.
