I don't like that you take too long to respond. It beeps too many times before a live agent gets to ask you if you need help. The response should be in less time
I don't like that you take too long to respond. It beeps too many times before a live agent gets to ask you if you need help. The response should be in less time. It takes a good 5-10 minutes before a live agent comes on the line.

Bad reaction to pill but Medical Alert got me the help I needed by calling an ambulance
I was having a reaction from a pill and was violently sick. I must have hit the button by mistake but your representative was speaking to me and asking questions, At this point my neighbor was here and she spoke to your rep. They called the paramedics which came right away gave me a shot, brought me to the hospital . My blood pressure was 200/100 so it was a very good thing I had my Medical Alert!, I was released later that night but thank goodness I was taken to the hospital and your rep called me. Thank you!!!

They did a good job but we also experienced the phone call. Three of us thought it was a scam number. Is there a number we can put in for a first alert so we know it is not a scam number??

Ordered this for my elderly mom
Ordered this for my elderly mom. She had a fall, pendant with fall detection, didn't detect anything. Smashed her forehead, ended up in the ER with stitches. Pendant was not in her pocket, or inside clothing. It was fully charged. Tried to cancel service both on support chat, as well as phone call. Still not resolved after 2 weeks of trying to cancel service.

Overcharged and never rectified!
I have been over charged several months and then charged for equipment they said that wasnt returned but later found it. I have not gotten the refund for all the over charges on monthly service and for the returned equipment. I have talked to the company 3 different times over an hour each time going over everything!!! It still has never been resolved. It has been almost a year now.

Ordered the three pack of different colors. The pink ones had the front and back mixed up so I put them on the wrong way the first few times and finally figured out that they were printed backwards. The gray are better and the black are the best, but I will not be Buying from this company again because they’re product. Reliability is poor.
