How MobileHelp medical alert systems work
When there’s an emergency, you can press a button on the MobileHelp device to send a signal to MobileHelp’s monitoring center. The operator immediately accesses your information and establishes two-way communication. They find out what happened and what’s needed, pinpointing your location through GPS technology. Finally, they either call your primary contact or dispatch emergency services.
MobileHelp runs on AT&T’s nationwide cellular network. Wearable MobileHelp devices are waterproof and can be safely and effectively worn in the shower or the bath. The base console station is roughly the size of an answering machine; the mobile devices weigh about 3 ounces and are nearly the size of a deck of playing cards.
About MobileHelp monitoring centers
MobileHelp partners with Rapid Response Monitoring to provide state-of-the-art, UL-certified emergency monitoring services. All monitoring response operators are based in New York, California and Nevada.
According to MobileHelp, operators are highly qualified and rigorously trained. The company always has bilingual Spanish operators standing by and uses an interpreting service called LanguageLine to interpret more than 240 languages.

My wife is a fall risk. I cannot always be home with her. She does have a mobile phone that had a button to call an operator who would assess whether emergency services were needed. She devised a case with a cord so she could hang it around her neck, but it was awkward, so she almost never had that phone within reach. I called Mobile help. I explained that she could not drive so she was always going to be with me if she is not at home. My phone does automatically call 911 when a car crash is detected. If she just fell, and emergency services were needed I would call 911.
The sales representative had the perfect solution. A small pendant with an emergency button would contact a Mobile Help operator, and it will also contact them if it detects a fall. Two days later the Mobile Help package arrived. My wife said she was comfortable with that small device that is very lightweight. The base station is in our living room and when Mobile Help tested the system the operator could hear my wife respond in the most distant place in our home from the base station. It also has a waterproof wall button for use in the shower and a wrist emergency button to use when the pendant is charging. We were called later by another company wanting to sell us the whole system with mobile pendants for three times the price. I said, "No thank you." Our Mobile Help system is not the one with those on-the-go devices that we do not need. But if we did Mobile Help has them so I would still get Mobile help's plan.

Great customer service. Customer representative Lewis excellent. Will recommend system to others. I also have two friends that has the same system. They like it very much. I like the on the go system because I’m not bedridden and I like the GPS and fall detection as well. I might check into some of your other product after trying the on the go system and your service.

We called to inquire and set up a plan for Mom. Our representative Mathew was most helpful, he was knowledgeable, polite, spoke clearly and was easy to understand. Mathew provided Excellent service! Would definitely recommend. We called many other medical alert companies and we were very disappointed with how the representatives handled the inquiry. Bad phone connections, heavy accents, loud background noises were what we encountered. If we had trouble understanding them our 89 year old mom would definitely have issues in an emergency.

I had a good experience while signing my Mom up for the MobileHelp. Stewart was a great help and answered all of my questions. I'm sure we will have more questions for him, but I feel like I could call him anytime and get answers to our questions. I will say that the Docusign is new to me and I will need one of the kids to come over and help me with that.

Albert helped in every which way to feel comfortable and knowledgeable in becoming a customer of Mobile Help and would highly recommend him to anyone interested in becoming a customer. Whatever my concerns were, he put them all at ease. He was patient, even calling my daughter to see if she had any questons or concerns in me making my decision.

I feel so much better knowing that everything is covered to ensure my mom's safety now. Edward was very helpful and I can’t wait to try the mobile alert pendant out! Fast shipping and love that everything is included when you purchase a year of service. Another plus is being informed when emergency services are on their way to my mom.
