is at&t required for service?
I currently have a Life Station product. I’ve had it for nearly 4 yrs since my wife died. I’ve never been happy with the response time when pressing the button. Often, 18 to 20 rings before someone responds.I have no landline. Cell phone only which I call a “dumb” phone ( calls and texts only ). Not a “smart” phone. I’m paying $25 a month for service. Please advise how your system might be a better option for me. Again, I’m looking for improved response time.
Thank you
Is there a watch instead of a necklace that has the fall detection on it?
mobilehelp says the fall response from the necklace has to be w/n 600′ of the set. i need something that travels w’o having to take the console everywhere i go. did i read that right? if i did that’s a deal breaker for me.
Do you have a product that works wherever the patient is located?
Does this work outside the home, like when walking the dog?
How long does it take for it to be delivered and installed?
Does this work with Sprint mobile service?
Does your mobile help system have any features to assist the deaf or hard of hearing?
If I wanted to add the automatic fall detection button for $10 additional per month on the MobileHelp Solo, does that button get added to same light weight necklace that came with the unit or does the light weight necklace get replaced with a larger heavier necklace?
If the device stops working thru no fault on my part is there a charge for a replacement and how long does it take to get a new one. How long do the devices work does it need to be replaced often, is there a price guarantee or does the price often increase
Do you need to sign a contract with your system? If you fall in the backyard will the device automatically call for help.
MobileHelp works outside the home, as long as it is within the AT&T coverage area (most of the US is covered). There is even GPS technology so help can find you if you are unable to report your location. The automatic fall detection will alert an emergency operator to send help.
I live alone. I keep my doors locked.. Do you supply a lockbox so that emergency person can enter the house?
If my mother’s neighborhood does not get good AT&T reception then this is not the product for her, right? She had to switch to Verizon for that reason.
Thanks,
I’m looking for a mobile device that can be worn as a necklace or bracelet with fall detection and GPS. Does the Solo fit those requirements? it looks like some of the other devices with GPS are only buttons that you have to carry so I wanted to double check.
What good is this system if the watch or pendant lack the fall alert feature in the bath or shower??
I have AT&T wireless service. I am considering getting this device for my mom who is very low tech. Will I get the warning on my phone when she presses the alert button?
what if the person needing this device, doesn’t have a cell phone, or internet at their home.
what color is the necklace?
does medicARE PAY FOR A MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEM
Does a lockbox come w/order of Mobile Help watch? Otherwise, how does the person in distress
get help?
I do not have a cell phone. My landline service is with Spectrum. Will this work for the fall detection service at home and away?
MobileHelp offers a device called "MobileHelp Wired Home" for landline users, and it comes with a pendant. Should you wish to add a fall detector, you can do it at checkout or call them to find out more. Regardless, their landline-based device offers coverage of up to 600 ft. from the dock.
Can you create a zoning alert. IE: If an elderly person leaves a designated area or wonders outside we would receive an alert on our phone?
Do you have an APP I can use fro tracking?
If you would like an alarm to sound when your loved one wanders outside, you may want to consider a home security system which you can connect to your phone to receive alerts.
Will MobileHelp still work if there is a power outage?
Are MobileHelp devices really waterproof?
At what depth of water is this viable and for how many minutes?
I would like to cancel my mobile help contract. I no longer need it since I am living in a assisted living facility.
Please reach out to MobileHelp's customer service in order to cancel your contract.
I need to edit my payment information.
Please contact MobileHelp's customer service by calling them at (877) 311-1067 if you wish to solve payment issues.

Does this system require internet service
Have you ever learned about interference with a pacemaker? is it run on 4G?
MobileHelp’s alert systems are designed to minimize the risk of interference with a pacemaker, but if you do wear one, it’s still recommended that consult with your doctor.
My husband and myself both need emergency alert systems. We need option without landline. I notice the information says 2 for 1 so would like a price including that.
Is the MobileHelpDuo water proof ? Can It be worn in the shower without failure ? Is it the best choice for 24-hour coverage for an active husband-and wife couple in their 80’s ?

Is this covered by Medicaid?
I have an problem with falling. Usually my husband helps me.When he can’t hear me calling for help I end up lying in place until I can crawl and manage to get to a place where I am comfortable. My latest fall was in the dark. I was trying to get to my bathroom. I ended up falling in an empty laundry basket where I urinated all over my self. I called for my husband over and over and he didn’t hear me. It took me at least an hour to get myself up and clean myself off. I can’t… Read more »
We’re very sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling, Mary. If you fall and can’t get up, the monitoring center may send emergency medical services. Upon falling, the 24/7 monitoring center will be the first to be notified and they’ll then decide who to send for help.

The classic plan includes fall detection whereas the solo does not.
What is the difference between the Classic and Solo plans? Does the Solo have auto.att
Automatic fall detection or do you have to pay the extra $10 a month?
They are both medical alerts with 24/7 monitoring and emergency response but are slightly different – the solo plan for one, does not include fall detection, whereas the classic plan does. The Classic has a base station and no pendant, and the Solo does not have a base station but does have a pendant.
can you talk into the necklace button? my mom has terrible hearing and can’t hear the phone when the fall alert goes off and the response team is trying to contact her. i am looking for a two way necklace button that is loud enough for her to hear.
Yes, it has voice features to talk to your emergency contacts or to call 911, and be activated by simply pressing and holding the button on the necklace, allowing you to then speak into the microphone.
Does Medicare pay for this?
It depends on your specific plan!
I would like to know if I have local response for Hartland VT area.
