I haven’t had much occasion to use it but would recommend getting the medical alert device from GreatCall Splash.

I have Splash and I feel safe using it. I would recommend it, but hope I haven't have to use it.

GreatCall is wonderful. I lost it one time and I called them, and the nice man who answered didn't treat me like I was crazy so that was nice.

I’m 92 years old and I had experienced falling down and hurting my back. I thought a medical alert device might save my life and bought Splash. But I don’t use it except when I’m by myself at home. I feel more confident when I need to go out in the yard or the barn. I made one call when I needed some help getting up and they were very helpful. Although I don’t enjoy the device around my neck, it’s just a small consequence.

This GreatCall Splash 5Star with GoPlan is the best thing to come along since Peanut Butter!! I am so glad my neighbor friend told me about GreatCall. I was all set to sign up with Life Alert, at $69.99 a month for their Basic Med Alert service. GreatCall is so much better and at a fraction of the cost!! Now I hope it works as good as it showed in the videos.

My mother is 89 with arthritic hands. She fell and tried to use her GreatCall Splash. She was unable to press the button hard enough. We know she tried because there was blood all over the device from her cut fingers. I pressed it to make sure it was working and it was working. It is not that easy for an older person to use. She laid on the floor on her back for several hours until I stopped to check on her.

The people that I talked to at GreatCall were wonderful. As a matter of fact, I got a call from a man the other day telling me my debit card had run out in December, which I knew, and they gave me a new one. They didn't take anything out of my account for January and February, so he took it out for January, February, March. I've recommended it to my friend, and she actually immediately signed up.

I've had GreatCall Splash for over a year. I wear it all the time but I've never used it. I carry my cell phone in my pocket and then Splash alert and I always call my children when I need to. It’s just a little bit aggravating about having to charge it about every other day. But I would recommend Splash to anybody that needs it.

I have fasciitis on my hips and I wobble a lot sometimes and can't do a whole lot of walking. My family want me to have it for safety precaution because I have to go up and down the steps in my apartment. I feel more confident now that I have GreatCall. I wear it every day every place I go and it helps the worries out. All I have to do is push that button. I would recommend them.

My medical device is perfectly alright. It's a little heavy but I can stand that. I would recommend it.

My GreatCall stays on the charger more than I wear it. However, I used it all day yesterday when I went to town so I had it on. I like the GPS part of it, since I go by myself sometimes. I don't use it every day but mostly if I'm traveling by myself. It's heavy to wear it hanging down. The only way that I can wear it comfortably and not bump it or get it in my way is just to hook it and wear it inside my bra. That's not gonna be the easiest way to get to it if I need it quickly but it's comforting to me to know it's there and I can take it with me.

I have lots of health problems and needed a medical alert device. I'm satisfied with GreatCall Splash and I feel more confident because I got it on. I've called them a couple of times just to see if it works and they have answered.

I'm very happy and pleased with GreatCall Splash. I've recommended this device to several people. I live alone and I'm not getting younger and sometimes I'm afraid that I might accidentally press the button, but that hasn't happened yet. It's also less expensive than the one I had for my mother and that's ten or twelve years ago. I wear it on a gold chain around my neck everyday and charge it at night, and I have not had the misfortune to use it yet to call the police or ambulance. I live on a third-floor-walk up and we don't have elevators here. I have to walk up three flights of stairs and then down and if I fall down it would kill me so I'm glad to have it. They're also very efficient about updating their records, making sure that they know everything about me as far as how the authorities, police would get into my apartment. It's got a GPS system on it and that's really nice to know. I feel very secure having GreatCall.

There are dangers that I might fall because of my Parkinson's disease. That's why I got a GreatCall Splash medical alert device but so far, I have not needed it yet. I leave it up on the windowsill, plug it in and leave it plugged in until I'm sure it's charged and then unplug it.

My daughter lives ten miles away and my husband is now deceased so I got myself the GreatCall. I've been wearing mine to bed and I keep it on a leather string coz it doesn't cut into me so I wear it all the time and it rests right inside my clothes. I've heard from other people that some of their devices will go off if they're doing dishes or something. But this one, I don't even know I got it on. I just don't wear it in the shower and tie it on the shower door instead. It's good that I can get anybody when I want them. I test it out about once a month and demonstrated it to friends. In fact, my boyfriend got one too after I did. Everybody should have one and I wish they'd make some device for children too coz I have a great granddaughter I'm concerned about... And I could go for a smaller one too, like if they can make it prettier and smaller like a piece of jewelry...

My daughter bought the GreatCall Splash for me. I bring it with me in the bathroom since it's waterproof, as well as in the bedroom and in the car. It's very handy, and I've used it once. I feel confident with it.

I'm almost 80 years old and a few years ago I went down the basement steps on my back. The kids feel like since I'm here by myself, it's safer that I have a medical alert device. The first medical alert service I had, I started having some problems with it. They’d tell me one thing and then something else happens. It wouldn't work so I told them I was going to send it back. They were going to send me a new one but I didn't get it so I just filled out a form to send it back. I found the new device they sent on my front porch days later but I sent that back too. I wasn't satisfied with them. It was inside the house only and I couldn't get any help when I'm at a distance from the house.

GreatCall Splash gives me the feeling of independence. Since it's a little too big to wear around the neck, I carry it everywhere I go in my pocket which leaves out the feeling that I need to have someone with me. I used it once when I had some broken ribs. I pushed the button and the person stayed with me until the ambulance arrived. They've been very good and I've recommended it to others.

I'm old and I live alone. With the medical alert device, I have fewer worries because I know I have it although I wish there was some way that I could put it on a chain and wear it around my neck the way some people wear theirs like bracelet or around the neck. I have to put mine in a pocket. I've had no problems with the people at GreatCall.

I use my GreatCall everyday, but the wristband that I've ordered is not what I expected. I thought it was just a wristband but you have to attach the heavy thing on the wrist so I didn't want it. I'm waiting for them to take it. I told them that they can have it back but they said I had to pay for the shipping and handling and they would give me credit for it. But I'm happy that I have the device. I recommended it to a friend.

I have only used GreatCall Splash once and it was fine. I am satisfied with it.

I'm going to be 85 in a couple of weeks and I live alone so I need to have a medical alert device. Right now I have my GreatCall but I've never tested it. I wear it all day and put it in its cradle at night. The only objection I have with GreatCall is it's a little bulky compared to others. I'll probably turn to a smaller unit but at this time I'm satisfied.

The medical alert from GreatCall is fine to wear. I had heart surgery years ago and have the beginning of Alzheimer's and my sister convinced me that I needed it. Every once in a while, I'll forget one of the stages - I can't even think now how to get the battery to work after it's used up. I haven't had to use it yet, except once or twice when I first started but I have felt good about having it.

I've had my strokes and heart attacks, that's why I always have the GreatCall Splash medical alert on my walker at home. I don't have it around my neck because I'm afraid I'll choke to death. I don't bring it when I go out and when I'm with my husband. I charge it every night because I don't want it to run out but I've been lucky that I haven't had to use it yet. I have recommended it to my friends. In fact, some of them already have one because I have one.

I've been falling so I needed to get a medical alert device. We called 5 different people and ended up getting GreatCall Splash -- it's the most economical and reasonable medical alert device there is around. So far I haven't needed to use it but I feel a lot safer when I'm alone in my apartment where I could be there for days and nobody would know it.

GreatCall Splash is okay. I'm getting older and living by myself. With it, my family might feel a lot better, but not me. I haven't called on it and it's still running anyway. The team and I got along fine. My son helped set it up because I didn't quite understand all of it. Everything is fine except that if you screw up the piece you wear around your neck, you get a whole bunch of them hanging behind and it hangs down too low. I try to adjust that. I know how to change it, but then you get a gob behind after you adjust it and I don't like that. You can't cut that off because it unravels.

I love having the alert device. I like the idea of having something that I can carry with me wherever I go and that I have the availability of calling for help if I need it. I’m 80 years old, I live alone and I walk with a walker or a cane. The last time I broke my hip was when I fell but I am going through therapy right now because I have back issues. I feel fortunate that I haven’t had anything happen where I’ve had to use it but I always feel a little bit more secured because I have it with me.

I live alone and got GreatCall so my kids wouldn’t have to worry with me, and I’d be more independent. One time, I was down at the mall and when I got home, I didn't have it around my neck. I called GreatCall and they said it was between Macy's and Walgreens, and I found it. It was real funny. However, I don't like the wristband and the one that goes around your neck. It goes clear down to my navel and dangles around. I wish I could hook it around my neck instead of putting the rope around my neck. GreatCall is great whenever I call them, but isn’t the best little piece of equipment.

I walk up and down the steps to my basement for washing so it would be a good idea to have an alert device. It’s good to have it handy in case of fall and I also wear it at night. So far, I didn’t have to use GreatCall Splash though I have no problems at all interacting with their team.

I'm 85 years old and my friends wanted me to have a medical alert device just in case I fell and couldn't get up. My neighbor was the one that insisted in getting me GreatCall so she helped me and did all the calling and answering. I just wear it in my shirt pocket. I haven't had to use it so we'll know if it's going to work okay when I have used it but I think so far everything is fine.

So far, I'm very satisfied and have no problems with GreatCall Splash. It's charged and I wear it all night and whenever I'm in the house. I'm happy I haven't really had any occasion to really use it.

I thought their price was reasonable and it seemed like GreatCall Splash was a good thing for me so I went with it. I have fallen once and it never healed, so I wanted a medical alert device. My alert is working fine and they're great.

The monthly price was reasonable and the ones who sold the unit to me explained how to use it. I thought I might as well get it because I live alone. I was disappointed that it was so big. It was hard to wear on the neck. I tried to wear it on my wrist and sometimes it loosens up. But as far as the unit is concerned, it works. It's well built and I'm comfortable with it. If I press the button, I'll probably get help right away.

It's almost a year since I got GreatCall Splash and I thank God because so far I hadn't had to use it. I decided to get this device because three days after my husband passed away in April, I fell, cut my leg real bad, bust my head, and tore both of my arms in half. There was no way they could stitch the cut on my leg up because of my skin. I was taking aspirin and I had to stay off my foot for a while.

I had a period of amnesia which necessitated a medical alert device. I'm more confident and able to go out without second thoughts knowing I'll be found if I have another episode of amnesia. I wear it most of the day, but I find that it's a little large by comparison to other products and I think it could use a little pocket to hold it.

I'm happy I have Splash. It makes me more relaxed and more confident that I'm not alone in my house. I hope to never have to push that little button, but I have it and it's for comfort and security. I have been recommending it and some of my friends have in fact bought their own Splash because of mine.

I have been stumbling and falling around and a friend of mine, who had his for quite a few years, encouraged me to get it and so I did. I make sure that I have it when I go out and wear it around the house. I’m happy with it.

I had a heart condition and my daughter insisted I have a medical alert device because I live alone. I used another service and then I saw the advertisement of GreatCall Splash and it was half the price of the other without a commitment to a contract and I liked that. Having GreatCall has been wonderful. I lost it in the seat cushions. I knew it was there but I couldn't find it. And it was a couple of days and it didn't lose its charge and the company rang it for me to be sure. We retrieved it and it's been working fine ever since. I feel secure having it. I carry it with me wherever I go. And I like the feature that it covers me away from home as well as in the home. I'm very content with it.

I purchased it in case I have an accident. It's uncomfortable having it around my neck all the time but I got used to it.

I've been pretty unstable and fell 3 or 4 times. The kids wanted me to get one so I went ahead and got GreatCall. It's alright so far.

I don't wear it since it's too big to wear and is too heavy. I carry it in my pocket instead. I had a different system before but only worked in the house, so I thought it would be better if I had something that I could carry with me when I went out. I was more likely to have some need on the sidewalk than in the house. I'm legally blind so I'm never alone except when I walk from my apartment to my mailbox. I was referred by someone so I called and explained, then they told me how it worked, what the expenses were going to be as well as the options for add-ons.

I set up GreatCall at the behest of my niece, who had got one for her mother who’s my sister. She wanted me to get one too since I was out here all by myself and just moving into this new home. I carry it around all over the place, but haven’t actually had to use it yet.

I switched to GreatCall because it covers me wherever I am, instead of just in my house. I live alone but I hope I don’t use it. I carry it in my pocket every day so I know it’s there if I need it. My friend in Arizona had it and thought it was very good. And I have friends that I think should get them. Maybe they will someday and I would recommend it.

I've fallen down enough and had to have my husband help me, but he wasn't always available. So in order to give him a little freedom to be able to leave me alone to go and do what he wants to, we bought a GreatCall Splash and a cellphone on me at all times. This way, he knows that while I have this around my neck and if I need help, I could get it by pressing the button. However, I think that it’s rather bulky, and inconvenient especially for a female. I think a male would have an easier time putting it on a belt buckle. I will have to take a necklace on, and it hangs off my bra inside my shirt. It’s always a lump underneath my bra, and if I go somewhere, I don’t know if people notice it or not. But if I have it turned to the outside, they’ll see the red light flashing, it’s kind of a pain in the **. I have difficulty keeping it on the chain and pinned to me all the time, and always seems to be in the way, but as long as it works if I need it, that’s all I care about.

I live alone. My husband passed away and my children want to make sure that I had somebody I could call if I was laying on the floor somewhere. I started with another company, which my son had me hooked up, but I didn't keep it. They were never able to answer any of his questions and GreatCall is less expensive. I thought, "Well, I don't think I need that company" that's why I canceled it. I haven't been wearing GreatCall around the house that much, but I remember to take it with me. It's too heavy around my neck so I put it in my purse when I go out.

I have Life Alert but it doesn't serve me when I'm away from home so I decided I better have this one too. I just wonder how long does the charge last because it says to keep it fully charged. But that means when it's on the charger, I don't have it with me.

My kids worry about me being alone mostly so I purchased my GreatCall Splash. I haven’t need to use it yet so I'm okay with it and with just wearing it in case I need it. It's a little heavy but it's alright since I wanted something where I would be able to talk to somebody right there on the button if I did fall. I tried one other medical alert service before using GreatCall and it had a big machine where I had to push the button but I feel more comfortable using GreatCall. And the first time we were setting it up, I tried the machine out where I pressed my button and the GreatCall team responded and I talked with them then. They were very friendly and helpful.

I've had a medical alert service before but decided to switch to GreatCall Splash because it was cheaper and stayed with you unlike the other one and my friend had recommended it. I've used it once to go to the hospital.

I'm living alone in an apartment and I'm 91. I thought it was prudent to have such a device. I haven't used it, but I called once when I was at a restaurant with some friends and they asked about it. I pressed the button and talked to the woman who answered and told her I was just demonstrating it to my friends. She told me where I was very quickly.

I had another medical alert device earlier last year. I was so disappointed in it that I wanted to change. I fell one time out in the yard at the fence line, and I punched the button and they didn't even answer it. I had two real bad knees and I can't walk without a walker. I was also paying $50 a month and it wasn’t good for anything. So I tried switching to GreatCall. It makes it easier for me. Like where I'm at right now is down at the genealogical library, and I know if something happens here, if I need the paramedics or whatever, I can punch the button and they'll come in. It's one of the things that sold me - wherever I was, I was covered.

Before getting GreatCall, I fell four times in one month. I went to the doctor and found out I had an imbalance in my ears which was causing this falling. I was falling so much and I was really scared. Meanwhile, a lot of my friends are breaking their hips. Three people I know have broken their hips and two others I know of had accidents where they hit their head and died. We also had major snowstorms and a lot of melting and ice and it's very scary to walk around outside. So I got this GreatCall Splash alert in the middle of December and I wear it around the house when I'm alone, especially when I go down to the basement. I also wear it when I go out, when I'm by myself in the car. I also wear it when I walk my dog because I'm always afraid I'm going to fall. I can fall on the ice. But I haven't fallen or been dizzy.

I’m 88 years old, have a fractured back and in a wheelchair most of the time. I’m by myself and don’t drive anymore. I have somebody that helps me, but I also have GreatCall. I can get help in here by pressing a button, so it’s a fine thing to have.

I haven't had it that long but I feel very secure with GreatCall because I know that if I fall down, I'll quickly find somebody to help me get up. I’ve fallen in the shower and outside, and was unable to get up. I'm more confident now because I know no matter where I am, I can get help. My previous device was strictly for inside the house.

I wear it with me all the time because I live alone.

I live alone and I'm in my 80s. My family insisted that I get one. I had already gotten another alert system for my sister where if you fall, you can get help immediately. But that doesn't work for my lifestyle because I'm more independent. I go out the car, go to the grocery store, do short trips. But I don’t want to sit around 500 feet from the house all day. Then I saw an ad of GreatCall Splash Medical Alert on the TV. I chose to go with it because I thought it would give me more flexibility. My brother-in-law also got one for the same reason.

I've had another device before and I can say GreatCall is better because I can use it everywhere and not just in the house. I've only used it once when I had to go to the hospital and I was very pleased with their response and how they handled the call. I called for an ambulance and they got one here. When I got to the emergency room by myself, I heard this phone ringing and realized it was me ringing because I had it on. It surprised me. They asked if I was okay and if I was at a safe place, and that's really nice.

The device is my husband's. He has had four back surgeries with titanium bars and has fallen a couple of times. So when I am not home with him and I have to run out, go to my therapy appointments, out in the yard or something, he wears it. And I know that if somebody is needed, he's got that on there and will alert whoever he needs to get a hold of. So far everything's been fine. And when he first tried using it, he did set it off once and they told us what he did wrong. It does make life a little bit easier. We've seen things on television a lot and everything about having one. Never thought we'd need it. But when we do have it, it's nice to know we have it. He charges it up like he's supposed to, knowing it's available to rely upon it if he needs it.

I’m glad I have it. It is very convenient and makes me feel secure. The GreatCall team has been very helpful when I have questions. I haven’t had to use it but it is a precaution for me to have that protection.

I was thinking about having one a long time because I never expected to live this long. One time I barely made it and called an ambulance. I thought that maybe it will be a good idea to have a medical device. I then saw GreatCall in one of the magazines and their price seems fair compared to some that are expensive. My girlfriend came and did the ordering. We were at the kitchen table and we had the phone on where everyone could speak and we were able to do it. I got everything in the mail and it's in my checking account. I leave it in my kitchen plugged in and it lights up. I received good service.

Everything moved smoothly with GreatCall. My husband has Parkinson's and he's a fall risk so we got it. My husband fell for the second time. We used the device and someone assisted us. They've been very good. It was very successful.

I wear my GreatCall all the time. Fortunately I haven't had to use it but I keep it with me and at night. I put it by my bed. I feel comfortable with it. I carry it everywhere I go. I wear mine in my jean pocket most of the time. I feel real safe with it and if I misplace it, I don't go to bed til I find it. I lost it one time and I couldn't find it. My son called in and they set it off for me. It was in my pocket in the closet. Very good experience and I'd recommend it.

My mother is 100 years old and she is here by herself sometimes, so we thought we need something to be more careful. Their staff was great. We filled out information needed for emergency over the phone and the interaction was fine. I'm glad she has it to use around her neck, that when she needs it she does have it. Help is just a push button away. My mother is a little bit more at ease knowing that she has GreatCall.

I thought it would be a good idea to use a medical alert device since I'm getting older. I've used another one before, but it's restricted strictly to the home. GreatCall is easy to use -- I just put it on.

I've been having a problem with my feet and I ain't got a good balance. I decided to get a GreatCall just in case I fall or something. It's supposed to work where I go and it's been pretty good so far.

I used another service before but it only went 250 feet out of my house. I thought it would be a lot cheaper with GreatCall, but by the time everything got added on to it, it’s about the same price. I’m 81 years old and I live by myself with two dogs and two cats. I have my GreatCall in case I might need it. I charge it up at night, right close to my bed and put it in my pocket when I get up.

I'm old and live alone. I've only had GreatCall for a month and I feel safer with it.

I wear it but I haven't had to use it, thank God. And my daughter is with me all the time. I'm 88 years old and have trouble with my balance. I'm glad to know it's there around my neck because I have fallen half a dozen times before and twice I have to lie quite a while before somebody was home. I really feel more secure with it.

My son bought it for me for Christmas because I live alone and have a tendency to fall. I wear it every day and it has given me a sense of security. I hope they don’t disappoint me if I need them.

I fell and broke my hip last summer, and I was in the nursing home for a while and I sure don't want to fall again that's why I got this. If I don't wear it, I have it in my pocket, in my bra, or in my purse. Sometimes I think it's a little big. I also don't like the chain with it so I bought a good silver chain to wear with it. I think a lot of people would like to have a better chain. That's my only concern. It's good not just in my house but in my yard. It's good everywhere, and that's what I like about it.

I have fallen several times and couldn't get up by myself that's why I needed GreatCall. But I'm having a great deal of trouble with this device because I find it quite heavy to wear around my neck and not everything I have has pockets. Most of my friends who had it wear their alert on a necklace but I just couldn't do that. But I'm more confident because I have it. And the one time I called, they were very prompt in getting the fireman to my house and that's my only experience so far. I would rate them great on service but mediocre or less on convenience because of the size and weight of this device.

I'm alone a lot of times and I always freak out. I also have asthma so if I should get an asthma attack and I'm in trouble, I'll have to use it. I really got it for situations when I'd be fearful like going to the movies which I could only do at night time. I have it on for safety in case someone would accost me. It's off when I'm in a house with an alarm system but when I'm out and about especially at night, I turn it on and have it with me. I rigged it up so it could be around my neck on a lanyard. What I like about it is I can go anywhere unlike some copycats which you have to be homebound. I can shut it off or have it on. It can be in my purse or I can put it around my neck and let it hang at times when I feel like I'm really scared.

I already find it cumbersome to connect everything so I can wear it around my neck. It's not comfortable to wear. If you wear it outside your clothes, it's very ugly. I feel confident though when I have it but I don't put it on all the time.

My brother used to live here but he passed away, so I'm all by myself and decided I needed something for my own good. What really made me choose GreatCall was their team. They were all very nice and explained everything to me. I've recommended GreatCall a lot. I put it on and I have it there all the time. In case of emergency, it's there for me.

I like GreatCall. I'm 67 years old and I don't care for cellphones. I live by myself and was diagnosed with Cancer in June, so I'd be out a lot. I really like this device. It really helped me a lot and I feel safe with it.

I'm a senior citizen and have been falling, so my family insisted that I get GreatCall. My niece did all the talking with them. They were great. There was one girl that she talked to mostly and she was very helpful. Since using it, I feel that I've got help if I do need someone if I should fall. I put it in the cradle at night and then first thing in the morning, I put it on and I keep it on all day. Everything seems to be great.

I had a stroke in November and couldn't get to the telephone, so I thought of getting GreatCall. Everybody was really nice and made it easy for me. I don’t worry now because I wear it all the time. It makes me feel safe. However, I can’t find a comfortable spot to put it in. I put it on my bra and it slips way down. I’m afraid I’d accidentally push the button.

I'm 74 and I've had a stroke, a heart attack, and colon cancer. My husband is 73 and he's deaf and mute. When I had the stroke, he didn't know what to do and so he went and got my son who is about five miles away. My son took me to the hospital, and I was lucky that I didn't have it worse than what it was. That's when my son and Tom said we were gonna get one of these devices. If I have one of these GreatCall things, then if something happens then my husband won't have to panic. All we have to do is press the button and an ambulance will come here.

GreatCall is just very great! I accidentally punched the button when I was down at the store one time getting in the car, and they said my first name and wanted to know if I was okay. I would like to suggest though that they make the things that go around the neck shorter for short people. Because I am very short, I just tuck it, pin it on my belt or around my waist and it's kind of uncomfortable. I'd rather hang it around my neck but it's a little awkward. Other than that, it's great. It's easy to set up and recharge, and I have a lot of friends that have one.

My legs aren't very dependable. I can fall really easy and if I'm by myself, it's hard to get up. I've been down a couple times and it was hard so I decided to get GreatCall. I haven't had it for very long but it's good so far.

I've had GreatCall for about 3 months. I got it because of a stroke I had. The button is easy to use. Their team is satisfactory.

We're much more happy with the whole experience with Splash as opposed to the other medical alert device which was a rip off. We got sucked into something with them and were not happy at all. Everything is working well with GreatCall Splash but it's fortunate that we've never used it. We just charge the battery. The only experience we've had with them was in ordering the thing, getting it and setting it up and it has been good.

After ~ 2 weeks, have not received a fix for the problem with the app working with gingerbread android. App worked great before the updates. When will the app that works with gingerbread be available? This is a critical issue!
