I live in a facility where there's a lot of older people. I was talking to a lady here one day and she told me how she was enjoying her medical alert device. I wanted one but I didn't know which kind so I called GreatCall Splash after that. I feel definitely safer to have my GreatCall Splash around my neck. If I'd fall or do anything that I needed help, I'd have some help right there. Additionally, their team was very courteous. Both times that I had to call, they took care of me and kept me calm until help arrived. They kept me on the line until the fireman walked in my door. I've had a very good experience both times and I'm very satisfied.

I wear my GreatCall device especially when my husband leaves the house because I have this fear of falling, and I’ve fallen many times before I got it. And so I leave it on until he’s around again. It’s been working beautifully, and I feel very safe when I have it on. I can go outside and walk to the mailbox while wearing it, knowing that if I did fall it would go off. We tested it once. My companion dropped it on the bed to see if it worked and it went right off. When we first got it, the people at GreatCall said that they were going to upgrade the batteries because once I had the fall protection activated, it sucked up the batteries. We now have to charge it several times a day. It doesn’t seem to hold enough charge to be really safe, so maybe that’s something they should address. But I would recommend it to a friend right away.

I'm 66 years old with some health problems and I live in a semi-rural area. I walk 2.5 miles on most days and I couldn't do that if I didn't have something. So I looked at medical alert devices for a couple of years trying to decide which one I wanted. And I thoroughly love the GreatCall Splash and the fact that it's not connected to a home phone line since all I have is a cell phone. I can carry it with me wherever I go. I also just didn't want to fall in the house and not be able to get a hold of anybody to take care of me and I do not want to live in a nursing home.

I researched the different cell phone providers and GreatCall Splash seemed like a good deal and the best one for the money, so I got them, and I'm satisfied with them. Their service works as advertised. I use my medical alert device and press the button every once in a while, then somebody answers, so I know that it's working.

Back in November, I was cleaning up the yard. I have a riding tractor and was taking the leaves and dumping them in the woods. I tripped on a tree root and slammed my face into the hard ground and jammed my hands and shoulder. I just got done with two months of physical therapy. My friend and his wife have been bugging me, since I'm by myself since my wife passed, that I needed to get a medical alert device. A friend of mine has one, too. Finally I decided I'd look around. I got to GreatCall and saw how well they did. I called a couple of times before I eventually decided. I was more than pleased with my first interaction with their team. I read the reviews ahead of time and everybody complimented them on their customer service and I have to totally agree. So far, the device has been fine. I'm getting my money's worth.

I live alone and my kids were worried about me falling and not being able to get help so I needed a medical alert device. I wanted something mobile that I can bring with me when I go out and not something that would just be for the house alone so I got GreatCall's medical alert. It would have been good if it came with more than one lanyard because if I'm going to wear it in the shower, the cord gets wet. Then if I'm going out right away, it either gets my clothes wet or it's uncomfortable or it's cold when I'm going out into the cold. If it had more than one lanyard, I could change it and have a dry one to go out with. But other than that, I've been very happy with it.

After several months, my GreatCall Splash is working fine so far. I got it mostly due to my health. The device is like a part of me. When I get up in the morning, it goes around my neck and it stays with me until I'm ready for bed. I don't go anywhere without it. Since my initial contact with their customer service, they've always been friendly and helpful. They know where I am 24 hours a day. It's easier for my family to know exactly if something happens. They have the peace of mind knowing that the GreatCall is with me and they could be in touch with me wherever I am. It's a great experience. I tell everybody about it.

I went in the bathtub to take a bath and I couldn’t get out of it. I don’t know why because I always did before that, but that day I couldn’t. I didn’t have any medical alert device that’s why I lied in the tub for some time. I live in an apartment building and the girl next to me heard me call but she didn’t do anything about it. So I got with GreatCall Splash and they sent me a device that I hook in my pocket. It’s a handy thing to have. I’m 82 years old and I never know what’s going to happen from day to day but I am not worried very much now because I have protection with me. If I happen to fall, I’ve got something that I can call somebody. I’d recommend GreatCall Splash.

I used to have Life Alert, but it only was good for in my house and its surrounding area. I wanted something that would be farther-reaching and with the Greatcall with the GPS, I can be found any place in the United States. Life Alert is also more expensive and didn't cover as much. I like Greatcall but didn't care for the black cord which they kept pushing. I found a pretty gold necklace that if I doubled it, worked perfect for it. So I wear it all the time on the inside and usually I tuck it in my bra with that necklace.

I have vertigo so I got a GreatCall Splash device. I used to have another device which was free from the Veterans Administration but it was only good for the house. I feel safer with GreatCall Splash. I dropped it and I called them to make sure it was still working and they were nice during that call. I wear it around my neck and there are times it gets in the way as it's a little big. It's a great thing to have.

I'm 80 and I live alone so I needed a medical alert device and got GreatCall Splash. I feel independent as it works wherever I am. It has a tracking device so if I should start to lose my memory, my family can download that to their phone to know where I am. Then I needed the customer service's help getting started. The device reboots from time to time and I couldn't figure out what that was and so I called them and asked. They've been right there, they're very easy to deal with and always have answers. They're knowledgeable and I'm happy with my choice. The alert device has a clip and most of them have a lanyard to hang around the neck. I can't wear anything around mine but it has a clip that I can clip to my clothes so it works fine for me. I am relieved to have it although I haven't needed to use it.

I'm a widower and I live alone. Last May, I had a stroke. As a consequence, my mobility and my activity have slowed down. The steadiness has not been as good as it once was. And although I've always had my cell phone nearby, I felt the GreatCall Splash Medical Alert was something I needed. My daughter did get a different device for me before but unlike the GreatCall Splash, it wasn't portable. It was fixed and had to stay here. Since I drove up to St. Joe occasionally, I wanted one I could take with me. I have the GreatCall Splash in my home. It's at a central place where I can get to it if I need it. I also take it with me when I drive to a neighboring city about 50 miles away. I haven't been worried when I go out. If something should happen, I know it's something I could put my hands on and use. It's a good product at a good price. It's been great. I haven't had any problems in any way.

I haven't had an emergency need to use GreatCall but I do check it about once a month to make sure everything is working well. Back in September, I took a fall and my ball joint came out of the socket in my hip, and the family insisted I get a medical alert. I don't wear the device, but I keep it beside my bed. My main concern was having it at night when I get up in the night. But other than that, I'm fine. Since I used GreatCall Splash, I feel safe and it's a good thing to have because I don't ever know what's gonna happen from one day to the next. I'm glad I have it and hope I don't ever have to use it. The team is very professional and friendly. I have had not nothing but good experiences with them. I feel that if I really needed to use it, that they would be there for me. And that's a big comfort and relief.

I live alone, I'm 86 years old, I had AFib and my balance was not good, so I needed a medical alert device. I wear my GreatCall Splash device all day, but not at night when I'm sleeping. However, I wear it in a sweater on the dresser beside the bed. The device is comfortable to wear, and it gives me the confidence to get out more. I do a lot of outside work and I was afraid I was going to fall at any time. I haven't fallen since I got it. I was changing up some shelves and I bumped it a couple of times. It went off and they answered immediately and were really courteous.

I'm out and about a lot and I live in a slippery country. I'm 89 years old and I thought I better have something for insurance. I switched to GreatCall because I didn't like the other medical alert device as when I would check it, the agents were very slow in answering and I could've gotten out my cellphone and called for help by the time they answered. When I check with GreatCall, they answer immediately. I have a much better response time with them. Their device is very handy, I don't have a lot of extra equipment sitting around like I did on the other one, because they had something for indoors and another thing for outdoors. GreatCall is easy to take on and off and to put in its charger and I have no quarrel with it at all. The only thing that amuses me was the gal that I talked to to get it said it was the size of a domino, and I think that's about the largest domino I ever saw. It works fine and is a good insurance.

My mother has fallen quite a few times and in the last few months, she'd had a lot of heart problems and gets out of breath easily. She can't always get to her phone, so we thought that by letting her wear a GreatCall around her neck, somebody gets notified if she falls because we have the unit with the fall detector. And, if she can't get to her phone, she can press the button. Also, it was recommended by her visiting nurses. We've actually used it twice in an emergency already.

I'm 85 years old and I live alone. Since I used GreatCall I'm more confident. I got the one that goes around my neck. I have a small chain that fits but everything seems a bit too heavy. And I have trouble finding something to put on it to wear around my neck. Also the little place where one can slip something to put around the neck isn't very large, so it limits what I can use. On the other hand, their rep was a very nice young man. He helped me greatly. Overall, I like the fact that I don't have anything sitting around with it and that it's the only thing I have. They're very satisfactory.

I had post-operative difficulties from a throat surgery. The doctor put a hole in my esophagus. It has caused me a lot of breathing and speech problems and my children were very concerned because I had three surgeries in eight days and was in the hospital for two weeks. Consequently I was rather weak and my balance wasn't good. I'm also 82 and a widow. They would feel much more safer about my living alone if I have help from GreatCall. I keep my device with me all the time. I usually have it in my pocket. I like the idea that wherever I go, whether I'm in Florida or Michigan, it's available for my use. It's not limited to a certain area. I haven't had any experience with the device or the team so it isn't fair, but I'm very satisfied with GreatCall. I'm confident that they're there if I needed them.

I'm 80 years old and I live alone. I haven't needed a medical alert device because I'm very capable of being on my own, but between my friends who have it, I had to get it too. I had another medical alert device but decided to switch to GreatCall because my cousin who has it for years was very happy with it and it was way cheaper, and the people were nicer. I've called them to check on the device once in a while and they're courteous. It's convenient and they respond immediately.

I'm a hundred years old so I needed a medical alert device. My daughter got the GreatCall Splash medical alert device for me and she took care of everything. I put it around my neck and wear it, but it's long and gets in the sink. However, I would recommend it to anybody.

I've been using the GreatCall Splash for a few months now and I am very pleased with not only the product but with the great customer service. I had an issue with the device which turned out to be that I was not using it correctly. I called in today and talked with Richard (I think was his name but not sure). He helped me to realize that I should always wear the device on the outside of my shirt not inside. He was very nice and caring. He took his time to make sure I was comfortable and answered all my questions. You could tell that he really cared about me and wanted to give me the best help possible. Everyone that I have talked to there have this same attitude. Thank you to all the CS reps at 5Star.

I had a mini stroke and cancer so my legs and neck were very weak and susceptible to fall, so I said I better get a button. I was using another medical alert service before and a woman called and explained what the advantages were with 5star. My wife and I decided we wanted that so we switched to GreatCallt. I tried it out in Palos Hills and it pinpointed me to the right address. When I go to the doctors out there in Palos or when I have my chemo treatment in Tinley, they know exactly where I'm at and that makes me feel safe. It can pinpoint where I am in case I fall, and I can even go out of state or visit my daughter in Iowa and I don't have to worry. I have the necklace and it seemed a little heavy at first, but I get used to it and now it's fine.

I live alone and I'm a diabetic. I'm worried everywhere but I felt a lot more confident when I started using GreatCall. A couple of times, I would accidentally mash the button and I would call them and tell them that that was a mistake. And the night that I was in trouble recently, it helped a lot. I mashed the button and they immediately got me an ambulance and they alerted my family. I'm glad to have it because it works and I would definitely recommend it.

I had a different medical alert device before but it was only in the house so my daughter picked on me to get a device that had more range because 90.5 years old, I still drive and my daughter is not always around. There was one time I tripped at the front gate and GreatCall called me right away. I explained that I had fallen and I'm okay. They were very nice and pleasant. However GreatCall's heavy, its black cord really annoys me. My previous one had a very light cord. Many times, I just have my GreatCall device sitting on the chair next to me and I wear it around my neck according to the mood I'm in because it's big bulky. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied and I would recommend it to others.

I'm very happy with my GreatCall Medical Alert Device. I have no complaints with it at all. I talked to the people at GreatCall when I hooked it up and they were nice. My daughter took care of ordering and paying for it and she was really happy because she shopped around pretty good and she thought we'd both be happy with it. I don't forget it like the other one that I have. I hated that thing so bad and I griped about it all the time. The bracelet would stick to everything, it was like velcro. It was cheap looking, it gets dirty and it smells. I didn't like the necklace either because it got in the way, it was too long and hanging around. I would recommend the GreatCall medical alert device. It's nice looking. I show it to everybody and they go "O look at how cute that is, it's so heavy and so tiny." It doesn't look like a hunk of junk jewelry.

I fell on ice and broke my femur. After I got better, I started feeling off-balanced a little bit and I needed a medical alert device to keep me safe. That's why I ordered GreatCall. My children thinks I'm old and of course wanted me to have it too. I'm used to wearing the device on my neck and I don't really know its there half the time. Sometimes when I don't put it on, I feel I got to run and get it cause I feel it's part of me now. GreatCall is definitely a confidence builder. One time I dropped my device, GreatCall called me. I'm very pleased with having GreatCall but I don't like having to pay for it every month. I can't really afford that but I keep thinking that I need it.

I got GreatCall because I had a lot of trouble falling. I had polio when I was a kid so I have bad feet and my legs give me a lot of trouble. When I first got the device, they told me to call to make sure it works, so I did that. Their reps were friendly and GreatCall is fine, so far. However, I wonder if the device is good in other states, too, because I got it mainly for other states or when I'm not close to where I can call 911.

I had really bad acid and then I couldn't breathe so I needed a medical alert device and it's a relief to know that I have GreatCall Splash. The team were good when I bought it. I wear the device around my neck and then one night, I laid on it when I was sleeping and what a feeling that somebody's talking to me in the middle of the night. They were very nice and has a quick response time and I would recommend GreatCall Splash because I like the price.

I'm 86 years old and I'm here by myself from 7:00 o'clock in the morning until about 7:00 at night. I fell out in the garage before so my daughter-in-law worried and thought I should get a medical alert device so I got GreatCall Splash. I set up the device myself and the people I talked to over the phone were very nice. Now that I have the device, I feel more confident when I walk out in the yard or to get the mail. I love my experience with GreatCall.

I recommend GreatCall to as many people as I can. It's an excellent piece of equipment, I wear it around my neck and I don't have any problems with it at all. And they're really nice and quick to respond when I call them - excellent service. Since using it, I definitely feel more confident. It's given me peace of mind that if I need help, I always have it at a push of a button instead of trying to look for a cellphone. I wish they had 'em out 20 years ago.

My GreatCall Splash works great. I have the one that can be worn around the neck but clip it on my sweatshirt because it makes me itch. I don’t go anywhere without it. One time, I happened to fall and couldn't get up. I pushed the button and their rep got right on the line. Then I got a hold of my daughter and she came over and helped me up. The device is perfect.

I live in a farm. I have seven horses and a donkey that I take care of and I’m usually in the barn by myself because my husband is disabled. I could be out there for two or three hours and he couldn’t come to check me because he in particular could not walk. So, my kids were after me and wanted me to have a GreatCall Splash. I thought maybe it’s not a bad idea. When we had a Christmas drawing, my grandson drew my name and he got the instrument itself for me. And, it’s worked very well so far.

I’m 86 years old and I used to have an alert but then I gave it up when I moved in an independent living and we have a lot of help here. Then I was travelling to my daughter’s in New York and I thought I should have one again so I got one from GreatCall. It was cheaper than what everybody else was paying for this, although it wasn’t like the one I had and it's too long that I can’t wear it around my neck. At night, I leave it next to my bed to charge it and at daytime, I take it with me. But I stay in here most of the time so I don’t carry it and I put it in my pocket if I have one. So half the time, I don’t use it. I also want it as when I’m in the living room, I spend a lot of time watching television and there’s nothing to pull in there, whereas in my bedroom or in the bathroom I can pull a cord and they would call. A friend of mine fell and couldn’t get up to get to any place to ring the bell.

I have the GreatCall Splash device and though I don't feel like I need it, he got it for me just in case. I got macular degeneration and am having trouble with my eyes, and I live by myself while he lives down at Lake Norman outside of Charlotte so he's making sure I have the things I need. I probably will be using the device soon because my eyes are getting worse and worse. The only time I heard from the GreatCall team was when they turned the device on, but they were nice as they could be and I didn't see a thing wrong. When I do wear the device on my neck, it's okay, but he had cut some of the string off and he's gonna have to cut it off a bit more because it's heavy and long for me as well.

At one point about a year ago, I was being stalked so I got a GreatCall Splash. The device is fine and their team is nice and courteous. I also have a couple of friends that have it and they both really like it.

I live alone now. I decided that since I don't have anybody living with me or any close relatives, I'd better have something to back up in case I get in trouble. I'm very satisfied with GreatCall's service. Customer service is very courteous and professional.

I had a head injury and got ocular problems. And since my wife and daughters insisted that I get a GreatCall Splash, I did it. I got the device that I stick in my pocket like a small phone. Their team was really nice and courteous when I run a test on it. They told me anytime I need anything at all to just press the button.

With GreatCall Splash, I know that somebody is there if I need them and I know that they'll get my husband for me. One time I was in the bathtub. My husband was in his office and that's quite a way's away from the bathroom. I kept hollering and he didn't hear me so I pressed the button just lightly and I got 5Star. I said to them "I need my husband. He's in his office and he can't hear me. I'm in the tub". My husband got a telephone call telling him I was in the bathroom.

I want my children to know how I’m doing and to be able to get help if I fall so I got a medical alert device from GreatCall Splash. I wear it all the time, and I absolutely feel more comfortable and more independent since having it. Whatever my daughter does whether it’s on the phone or computer, she can see if I’m at the church or at home and I really like that she can see where I am. The only time I have had to call the GreatCall team was for a test, and they answered right away. I referred GreatCall to three people who have also signed up so I’m very pleased with it.

I'm on oxygen and have trouble walking so I decided to get a GreatCall Splash alert device. I feel more comfortable and independent moving around with it.

I'm 83 and although I'm in pretty good health, it would be a wise idea to have something available should I have a problem. I feel comforted having the GreatCall Splash with me. I hit the button by mistake one time when I was in the store and all of a sudden I heard this voice thing “Are you all right?” I realized what I had done so I quickly responded and apologized for having hit it. I didn't have any problems with their staff.

I'm alone most of the time so I needed a medical alert device. I had Guardian before switching to GreatCall Splash which was recommended by a friend. The GreatCall team were courteous in helping me get everything set up, asking me some questions. So far, I haven’t done anything with it yet. I’m just walking around with it in the house and it’s fine.

My daughter got the GreatCall for me. I've been by myself all the time and work outside. I’m in pretty good shape but once in a while I mess up. I was having a lot of problems falling. I fell off the tractor and had a stroke on the lawnmower. I fell over in the woods back in the fall and my head hit a tree. I laid over there for about four hours because I couldn’t even get up. Nobody knew where I was at. I crawled and rolled to get back to the house, and I would’ve loved to have the GreatCall then. I am real glad to get it.

Splash is fantastic and I would not go without it. One day, I fell and couldn't move at all. Fortunately, I wasn't charging my medical alert device which I usually do at night, so I pushed the button and Splash called me and they came right away. Their reps are wonderful and nice, and my experience with them was the best.

I have a lot of medical problems and I’m 95 so I have fallen a couple of times. I have a lot of people checking on me and my only daughter got me involved with the GreatCall Splash medical alert. I have it hanging around my neck all the time. Its weight is fine and even though I've never had to use it so I presume it's okay. It's easy to call someone if I had to and I’m glad I have it.

Both of my legs have been amputated last December. So, I'm afraid that if I fall I might not be able to get up and there might not be anybody around to pick me up. I'm living by myself so a lot of my family and friends told me to get the GreatCall Splash device which happened to be cheaper than the first alert so I got one. I accidently hit it at least twice and they were right on top of it. One time, it was a light that was coming on that I couldn't turn off so they told me what to do. Now I know how to handle that.

I had Life Alert before but it didn't cover everything that I needed which made me concerned. And being almost 91, I figured I needed the best coverage in the world so I got GreatCall. I'm very comfortable that GreatCall stays with me wherever I go. I fell a couple of months ago and I didn't push the device's button which was stupid but I will do that if anything like that happens, which I pray it won't. GreatCall gives me confidence and comfort that if there's any problem, I can just push the device's button. I'm very happy I have it.

I've only had my GreatCall Splash Medical Alert for about a year and I like it very much. It's a little bulky but I've learned to live with it, and it works for me very well. I live at a retirement center so I use it around my neck on a chain, especially when I go out because we go to the stores and I do quite a bit of walking. It's good to have.

I didn't need any medical help when I got my Splash but my children thought I should have one at my age so they got it for me. So far it's been good. It's the first thing that I put on when I get up in the morning and I wear it all day until I go to bed and then charge it again. It's comfortable, but I wish that the little box was a little bit smaller.

I'm 82 years old and I have a heart problem and can't move by myself. I wear my GreatCall around my neck and it's comfortable. If I go for my walk, I like to have it on since I can get to it easily. I know I can press the button even though I do have problems with my right arm. I don't take it to the bathroom with me, but my friend tells me she takes it with her, and so I think I better take it too. GreatCall is working out fine, and I'm glad I got it. I’ve been trying to recommend it to some of my friends.

I already have a medical alert device prior to buying GreatCall but I bought it due to the GPS function. I travel a lot and I felt that the device would work no matter where I am. I've had no problem with their representatives. I unintentionally bumped the device the other morning and a man called right away to see if I need help. I've never had to really use the device but when I travel and want to know where I am, I ask them and they tell me. I'm proud that I have GreatCall, I think it's the best. I've already recommended it to my friends. So many people in the retirement community I live in have the device run by our local hospital, but they have to be at home for it to work and they pay more than I do.

My husband passed away and I'm alone now. I'm getting old and I need a medical alert device like the Splash. In fact I had to use it once. I had diverticulitis and I was in a really bad pain, so up north I called GreatCall and the rescue squad was there before I even thought I could get out of bed. It is a comfort, when you're living alone if you fall nobody knows it. But I wish they would have it in the form of a watch. I put it in my bra because it was hanging on a chain around my neck. It bothers me, so I would like either a lot lighter weight or maybe a little more decorative. A watch would be nice because you wear it all the time and it's not in the way. Also, I wish the battery would last a little longer.

My son thought I should have a medical alert in case something happens to me in the future because I'm getting older and I may need some help in the future. I can just push the button and somebody will come out and help me. They also know where I am even when I'm not at home because of the GPS in it. They can even tell me what street I was on. With GreatCall, it helps my family to feel more secure since they are not nearby..

I’m up in years, I’m up here on the farm and the ground is a little rough. I didn’t want to take a chance so I got a GreatCall Splash medical alert device. Though I’ve never had to use it yet so I don’t know how it works, I feel safe with it.

GreatCall Splash is good to have. I'm alone and I have muscular dystrophy and difficulty getting around so I needed it. I called them once when I was in California just to make sure that it was working and they responded quickly.

I had an operation about 5 years ago. Also, I had esophageal cancer so I have had acid attacks. I had one of those and I passed out and broke my wrist. That's why I decided to go ahead and get a GreatCall medical alert device. My son helped me when I signed up and we had a good experience. The rep was helpful and did everything right for us. I'm very satisfied with GreatCall. I wear it all the time and I don't have any trouble with it. I just make sure I wear a pocketed shirt and I put that little thing in my pocket.

One night, I accidentally fell down on the driveway and broke my hip, and since I live alone, my son decided to get me the GreatCall medical alert. It is nice, but having the device bothers me. I don't wear belts so I have to put it around my neck. It's a nuisance sometimes so I usually tuck it inside my blouse.

I fell out of bed and I was alone. I've had two knee replacements, I couldn't get up. That particular incident made me buy my Splash device, which I haven't had to use so far, but I like it and feel more secure with it. I would recommend GreatCall Splash. It's easy to get from Walmart. It's ready right away. I didn't have to wait for it or go through the TV and wait for it to come in the mail.

I live alone and was falling all the time so I decided to get the Splash. I put it on everyday. Before I get out of bed I reach for it, put in on my neck and wear it the entire time. I'm very satisfied and feel more secure with it.

We purchased a medical alert device because I had back surgery and my husband was concerned that I wasn't getting around as well as I should. He also thought it was a safety measure when I'm here alone. I had the one from the hospital, but we decided to switch to GreatCall because it's cheaper. Thankfully, I haven't had to use it, but I wear it every day.

It's good for me to have a medical alert device because I live alone and I have a little problem getting around at times. I feel more secure having GreatCall. It's easy to use and comfortable for me. I have it with me at all times except when I'm in bed which is when I charge it by my bed. I have already recommended it to a friend.

My children insisted that I get a GreatCall Splash, so I did. However, the device is too heavy for me, so I don't wear it around my neck, and rather, keep it in my pocket. I put the payment on my Visa credit card, but gave the company the wrong date that it expired. Because of that, Visa would wouldn't pay GreatCall, so GreatCall sent me a letter and I immediately sent them a check. So far, I don't know if they are going to bill me for it or if they want another credit card number.

I had concerns about falling down and tried other medical alert services, but none were as good as GreatCall Splash. The GreatCall team has been helpful and I'm satisfied with what they did. I got the device set up. Above all, I do traveling once in a while, and with the medical alert system having a GPS, it's a great assurance for me. They'll find me wherever I am for a few bucks as opposed to the other ones I had dealt and looked into which were 50-60 bucks more. I'm very happy with GreatCall.

My mother was having trouble with her balance and was falling a few times so I wanted to get something that she could wear on her body and use to get help if she needed it. Someone else told me that they used GreatCall and were pleased with it so I went with it. Everyone was helpful when setting the device. My mom feels confident that she has it and it gives her some independence. It makes me comfortable being at work or away from her to know that they'll call me if she calls them.

My GreatCall medic alert is working great. One time, I hit it by mistake with something in my pocket and I was amazed and pleased with the response. It was wonderful. I feel so content that if something should happen that they would be right on the button. They're the best. I tell other people they should have one.

I'm comfortable having my GreatCall Splash and knowing that I got it. I need it because I'm in a wheelchair. I'm paralyzed from the waist. Everything was good with the GreatCall team. I'm satisfied with them.

I'm alone in a country-like place and am working outside a lot since I take care of horses, so I needed a medical alert device that could work outside the house as well. Additionally, my siblings told me that I should get something just in case, since I'm also in my 70s. So, I got the GreatCall Splash, and with it, I feel more confident being alone. My doctor says I'm healthy, but you never know. I could lay there for days and nobody would probably think about coming over and checking. So far, when I pressed the device accidentally several times while working, somebody was there answering it. So it works but I have to be more careful in pressing it.

My daughter was going away and didn't want me to be by myself because I'm 89 years old so we got a GreatCall device. I keep it with me around my neck all the time. And since I still drive, if anything happened while I was out on the road, the guys from GreatCall would be able to help. I now feel more secure having the device and I have even recommended it to one of my friends.

I sometimes got so very dizzy that I thought I was going to pass out. I was afraid I wouldn't make it to the phone to call my kids so I got the GreatCall Splash. Customer service was very nice when I ordered it.

But for GreatCall, my life has been terribly and incredibly frustrating. Even though I was fine, the device kept calling GreatCall at least five times, and at one time they called my daughter who lives an hour away and asked her to come over and check on me, which she did.

My kids wanted me to have a medical alert device and the one from GreatCall Splash fits my lifestyle fine. I wear it around the house and it's comfortable when I go out. The only thing is when I checked it out in Reader's Digest, it said $19.95, but I'm paying $30. But, I'd recommend it.

I needed a medical alert device because I'm old and I live alone. I used one before GreatCall Splash years ago when I broke my foot but it was only good in my house and I wanted something that went wherever I went. But GreatCall Splash's isn't easy to use because it's too big. I can't wear it around my neck and so I have to remember to take it and put it in a pocket. In fact, one time, I misplaced it and they were very gracious and responsive in helping me find it. But I'm very independent and just needed it in case I had an emergency.

GreatCall has saved my life. I had an accident. I was coming up Grand Avenue in Arroyo Grande and this car just pulled right up to the side of me by the front of my driver's door. I didn't have my cellphone but had my GreatCall. I punched the button and they called both 911 and my son in Bakersfield. I don't know what I would do without them because they were right on the ball and did everything they could. GreatCall called the police department and the ambulance, and everybody was there. It was a great experience. I wasn't hurt and I'm glad I had it on so it's on my neck all the time now.

My kids thought I was getting old and that I should have a medical alert device. Then my son said GreatCall Splash sounds like a good one so he got it for me. I'm glad to carry the device in my pocket and that I have it with me all the time. I feel a little bit more secure with it.

I'm 92 years old and my son was afraid that I would fall, so he got me a medical alert device from GreatCall Splash. I wear it around my neck and if I fall, I could punch the button. I'm satisfied as I can be with it.

I'm 82 this month, a widower and I live alone. It was suggested by my daughter to have a medical alert service and I thought it was a good suggestion so we got GreatCall Splash. Fortunately, I have not had any occasion yet where I must use it, but it's with me at all times. When I first got it, I inadvertently activated a call and immediately there was a male voice. He was on the line and wanted to know if I was okay or if I needed anything. I explained that I mistakenly pressed the button, but he did not take that until he made sure that everything was okay with me. I appreciate that. I have my medical alert device on a lanyard around my neck and it hangs inside my shirt and it's easy, convenient, and I've had no problems with it. Everything is satisfactory. It gives me security and comfort in knowing that it's here and it's available if I need it and I will get a response quickly.

My GreatCall Splash experience has been very good. I'd recommend them.

I fell once, and fortunately my son was there to help me get up. Otherwise, I couldn't have gotten up. So, I got a medical alert device, and since using GreatCall Splash, I've been out for therapy to strengthen my legs. I accidentally hit the GreatCall button once and I was able to interact with their team, and it went fine. At least I know it works. The device is very easy to use, and I can't complain. I'm very satisfied and it gives me comfort knowing I have it. In fact, I have recommended it to another lady.

I feel better and more at ease since I had GreatCall, I don't feel so alone. I needed it because I have a lot of medical issues. I'm not a stabilized walker and I fell a number of times. I bumped it a few times and they answered. I said it was a mistake and they've been very good. I am also comfortable wearing it. I have recommended it to a number of people, and a number of my friends have gotten it.

I'm 80-some years old now and living alone. My daughters are out of town and I thought having a medical alert device was the safest thing to do in case of falling or if I had a wreck in the car. I did some research and I liked GreatCall's pricing. Also, I travel quite a bit and I like that I could travel with it. I stick it in my pocket and it goes with me everywhere. I just came back from Alaska and called to make sure that it worked up there and it did up in Anchorage.

I have poor balance, I tremble with one foot and I can't feel where I'm at all the time. Thus, I have fallen several times and done some damage a few times. These made me decide to get a medical alert device and chose Splash. I carry the device around my neck and it's very easy to use. It also has diabetes information on it. Their people called me once when I first got it and they were very pleasant. I have not had to use it nor I had to call them, but I don't want to be without it. I’m happy to have Splash device and I feel more independent with it.

I tested this twice. The first time the agent said it could only be used to summon police, fire or ambulance. I called customer service and they said he was wrong. On the second test, another agent said that he would allow us to call another person after he has notified emergency services. Our purpose in getting this was to be discreet, when my partner who suffers from confusion is in a public place. Summoning emergency services when they are not need would be beyond embarrassing.

I feel a sense of relief in having the GreatCall medical alert device. I've only pushed the button once by accident and their response was very quick and thorough. It was ironic since I didn't know where the microphone was so when they called me, they couldn't hear me on the device. They directed me where microphone was and we claimed it so it worked fine after that. It's easy to use and a great device for a small price. I've recommended them to friends.

I am 71 years old and I had a minor stroke. My friends and family kept telling me I should get a medical alert device because I'm by myself and I do stuff (ie: hiking, biking) by myself all the time, and if I get hurt or fall down, I could use some help. So I looked into the different ones and with a lot of them, one has to have a home system. I saw GreatCall Splash in the ERP magazine and it said it was at Walmart. I checked it out at Walmart and their price was right at 20 bucks per month. Hence, I decided to go with their device.

Have had the phone since ordering the first of January. Still have not turned it over to my 90 year old mother. Issues from the beginning. MedCoach does not work at all even after numerous attempts with technical support. The account name on the website is wrong, assured it would be fixed. Didn't happen and now they tell me it's no big deal and not to worry about it. Every time the phone gets a text message from GreatCall, it also gets a phone system update text message saying that GreatCall has updated the system and shows a page full of software coding. Now tell me how this is not confusing to a 90 year old! Why can't GreatCall make that secondary text go away from being seen on the receiving phone?

I wanted something for my mother to wear when she walks out into the yard or somewhere I don't have my eyes on her, and GreatCall fills the need. She can get it in and out of the charger pretty easily, and put it on herself. GreatCall is a great idea, and I would recommend it.

I'm allergic to wasps and bees. If I get stung and take the EpiPen, I have to be in the hospital in 15 minutes. I had a medical alert device for three years but when I pressed it, nobody responded so my daughters got me another one. They researched GreatCall Splash and thought it would be safer for me. Since getting it, I have more peace of mind. One day as I sat down on my bed, I mashed it accidentally and they responded right away. Their team called and I told them that it was a mistake. They were very nice about it and told me what to do. I appreciated that.

I have several problems, I'm in a wheelchair and I thought a medical alert device might be a good thing to have if I was ever out of my chair and my wife wasn't around. I had a device but it wasn't quite like GreatCall Splash. Their team has always been very professional and my few interaction with them have been great. The GreatCall Splash device comes with belt clips on them which I was using originally. But three of them break very easily, the clips themselves are not very sturdy at all. I had to find a pouch to put the device in around my neck since when I just put a lanyard on it, I was breaking it all the time. Nevertheless, I feel more secure since using the alert service.

I got a medical alert device from GreatCall because I thought I would be proactive, but I haven’t had to use it. I do everything I did before I had the device, only now, if I should run into a problem, I have something to rely on. I just make sure that it's charged up and I put it in my purse. I wish it was smaller, but other than that, I haven't had any trouble with it.

It's not comfortable wearing it everyday around my neck and when I know that I'm going to the gym, I don't wear it because they don't want me wearing it doing some of the exercises that I do. It would be nice if the company could make it lighter and make the lanyard that goes around my neck more comfortable. But I would recommend it because the price is very reasonable and my wife already recommended it to her friend.

I'm almost 86 and I live alone. I fell in the yard once, couldn't get up and had to call for the neighbor. My daughter insisted I have medical alert so we got GreatCall Splash. I feel very secure now. I haven't used it for emergency though. It quit blinking once so I pushed the button because I didn't know how to restart it. It started but a voice came and I explained why I pushed it. I have recommended GreatCall to several people inside the church that need them.

I was falling a lot so I decided that I needed a medical alert device. I feel very secure with the GreatCall Splash. My husband called to see if it needed new batteries when the device was showing red and green on the indicators and he had a good experience with their people.

I live alone and there are times when I'm not steady on my feet. So I looked into getting a medical alert device, and with GreatCall Splash, I feel much more secure. They're awesome. I call them once a month just to be sure it's working properly, and I am very impressed with everybody I've spoken to. The device is comfortable and easy to use, but the clip that holds it is not durable. I keep the device in my pocket and chain it to my belt loop, and the chain broke. I'm not happy with that part but, other than that, everything else is fine.

GreatCall Splash worked out very nicely for me. It's been everything that it was advertised to be and I've enjoyed it. I feel a little bit more confident in having the alert system with me at all times. I recharge it at night, but it's right by my bed in case I need it.

I've recommended GreatCall to several people. I feel more confident since having them and their team was good. But the clip broke and it didn’t last very long. I'm going to call them and see if they're going to replace it with the warranty. It's not much good without the clip.

I'm divorced, single, and living apart from my family. I have my own house and feel vulnerable that there would be no one around if I would've fallen or have a stroke so I needed a medical alert device. Since having GreatCall, I feel more independent and secure - as if I have someone with me in case I fall. I always make sure I keep it with me. But they need to improve on their clip because I can't clip it onto my key chain. It always falls off and I'm afraid of losing it. It's comfortable now that I understand what I should do. Also, I called them to test if they can locate me and they knew exactly where I was. I did it twice and I always got a friendly and helpful response. Moreover, it's a very good investment for the cost. It's a better deal than when I used to pay $40 a month to have a home service which didn't help me when I was outside the home.

The GreatCall device is comfortable. I switched to a wristband type which I found when I was out of the house a lot easier to manage and very handy. I keep it within range in case I should need it. Any questions I've had where I've had to contact GreatCall, their response had been very satisfactory and helpful.

I have fewer worries since using GreatCall Splash. I'm 81 years old and on oxygen 24/7, I have occasional lightheadedness, and I'm not as mobile as I used to be so it's a good idea to have a medical alert device. One of my children purchased another service for me before, but I switched to GreatCall because it's less expensive, easier to use and I like the concept a little better. I've had no reason to make any emergency calls yet, but the device makes me feel comfortable. I have it attached to my portable oxygen tank so it's with me all the time. I've been pleased with the GreatCall team - they're friendly and helpful.

I feel very safe and comfortable with GreatCall and I’ve been blessed. I’ve enjoyed it very much and I highly recommend it. I show to almost every one of my friends that I have it on. I feel that it makes them feel safer too, knowing that I have mine in case something happens and that they’re covered. I'm 86 years of age and my husband passed away so I’m by myself. I’m in my own home for 26 years and my nephew who is my power of attorney takes care of everything for me. He got me the medical alert and said, “Now, be sure, don’t you go out of this house that you don’t put it on.” I wear it every time that I go out and take it off when I come in and put it back in its holder. It’s convenient and I don’t even know I have it on when I have it on. So I have to feel it once in a while to see if it’s still there. I have much fewer worries or none at all whether I'm inside and out. I’m very satisfied and I can’t complain whatsoever.

I've got heart problems and diabetes and my son decided I needed a medical alert device. I just have to get a shorter lanyard for my GreatCall but other than that the device is fine.

I keep my GreatCall Splash medical alert with me all the time and charge it every night. I really didn't have any difficulties except I'm getting older and not quite as steady on my feet as I used to be which led me to need a medical alert device. I wear it around my neck and it's handy and very satisfactory. I haven't had to use it but I feel more secure having it. My experience with them has been pleasant, satisfactory and comforting. I'm glad I have it.

I got a GreatCall Splash in case I'd need it. Most of the day my wife works part time, I'm here by myself, and all my neighbors work around. If I got any accident, I want her to be able to notify somebody that I'm in trouble. One time I called GreatCall's customer service because we went on vacation and I wanted to make sure that the device is working if I'm away from home. The guy I talked to said it's okay. I'm satisfied with the device. I keep it in a little pouch in my belt instead of it hanging from my neck, and I have it with me all the time.

I'm worried about my mother so much. I'm trying to help her stay independent and be able to live at home, and I'm so relieved now that we've got the GreatCall Splash medical alert device. Everything is working well with it and we're delighted. It's the best money we've spent. We've done a few little tests, and I'm really impressed with how quickly they respond. They immediately ask, "Is this an emergency?" They've got a great product, and staff as well. I first worked with Gerald, then with Monica. They've also been very helpful on some of the instructional things, like understanding the little light when it's blinking red or green. As long as their price stays the same, they're doing fantastic.

I'm 78 years old and I live by myself. I've got a lot of stairs and my children think that I needed a medical alert device because my husband died two years ago. That's why I got GreatCall. I have a big backyard and I use it when I go out and work there. I don't wear it all the time but I have it right close at night in bed if I need it. I'm really pleased with it so far. They wanted to know if I had a key for the emergency crew if they would need to come into the house. I've got keys in my son's across the street. I have to program my garage doors and let them know that they can get in through there. When I went to Hawaii, I called the reps at GreatCall and they answered right off the bat. I've had really good experience with them.

I live alone and I am confined to a wheelchair and have to do transfers so there's a risk of falling. I have had to call the ambulance to help me out. I like that I can take GreatCall Splash in the car with me, so no matter where I am someone could locate me if I call them. Having one button to push is much better than the iPhone I used to have. I've got the device on a lanyard around my neck. The only thing that's interesting is, occasionally, it says a welcome message and I'm not sure what's causing it. So when I go to a movie theater, I turn the device off so it won't do it spontaneously. There's been no problem so far. It seems to charge well, is very light, and doesn't need a lot of hand dexterity.

When I was in New York, I had to pay arms and legs for a medical alert device, and I only get it around the house. On the other hand, I wear GreatCall Splash when I go out or any place and I have less worries.

I opened an account and set up an automatic payment for an elderly relative. For whatever reason, GreatCall sent a bill again for the next month. I called them and set it up second time with the relative on the phone using her debit card. One month later I get next paper bill. I called GreatCall again and asked if the payments were automatic and if I needed to set it up again. The person I talked to refused to tell me if the bill was paid or not because I did not remember password. They refused to give me any information, yet they were calling me on my cell phone last time when they did not receive payment. They do have my name on the account as a contact name. These people are ridiculous.

I'm not happy with GreatCall Splash Medical Alert. I have a unit that has all that fancy stuff on it which I still got, I never had any trouble with it running down power, but since it works off the GPS too, I can't keep it charged up. I can only keep it in power for eight hours, so it's not really helping me very much. I'd probably end up telling them, so I'm giving it back to them. I bought the medical alert device because I need it, but I'm dissatisfied with my experience with it.

I purchased a phone for my mother from First Street. It listed the price of the Jitterbug phone and prices for minutes plus it said "no contract". I thought I was buying a pay as you go phone since I wanted to activate it in my mother's area code and add minutes when she needed them. It turns out Great Call does all the service for the Jitterbug and I then get a bill from them with additional charges, activation fees for my county and I'm told the minutes I bought are per month! To return it I have to pay shipping and handling plus restocking fees. I feel Great Call is responsible for this misleading advertising. I will not be doing business with them or First Street again.

It was cold with rain pouring down rain and I put my umbrella up. The wind got under my umbrella, turned it upside down and it made me lose my balance. I fell backwards in a puddle of water. So I pushed the button on my GreatCall Splash device and they were really so nice to me. The ambulance got up here in about 15 minutes and brought me in the house. The medics had me take off my long, heavy, and soaking wet housecoat and put on something dry. They also called my son to come up here before they rolled off. I appreciate Splash. They've been so nice to me and looked after me really well.

My experience with GreatCall Splash has been nothing but good. I haven't had an occasion to use it, but I did push the button one time. Everybody that called me came on very friendly - I told them I was trying it out and they wished me well. I feel safer when I'm alone while having this device. I wear it with me to every place I go.

My mom's 87 and independent but we got her a Splash because we needed something around the house that will give us a little peace of mind. She used a different service before but we switched her over because they had the GPS, fall detection and ran through a cell phone. The old system she had would just cover 600 feet off the house. Their people are generally helpful. However, I was disappointed with the instructions and the setup procedure because we thought we'd followed all the steps properly but when Mom fell the thing didn't go off. When we called, they told us that the fall thing had never been activated, but we went through all the steps on the original document that came with it and she was wearing it on a lanyard.

Everything went fine with GreatCall. I didn't have any problems. It went great.

Before I got Splash, I struggled to get up -- and it's really hard to get up when there's nothing around to help you. So when I fell in the front yard, I decided to get one. I wear it when I'm outside doing stuff and every time I go shopping. I've used it once and I'm happy with the experience.

GreatCall Splash gets me help when I'm down. It's a very handy device to have for people like me who's just falling all over the place. It does the job it's supposed to do!

My experience with GreatCall Splash medical alert device has been pretty good.

Age and disability were the reasons why I needed a medical alert device. My old device was good but not when I'm outside the building. On the other hand, my GreatCall device is easy and comfortable to use. I use it when I'm in the car or travelling.

I'm happy with my device from GreatCall Splash. My friend bought it for me and got the service going. She insisted on me wearing it. I put it on the charger every night and charge it. The unit is excellent because there's GPS which means a lot to me because I can take the device anywhere.

I had Catholic Health before, but got rid of it because it only worked inside. On the other hand, my medal thing from GreatCall works all over, and activates whenever I fall.Their team does very well, and answers right away. Then they send a fireman, first aid, or an ambulance within 10-15 minutes.

I'm a retired nurse, home care, and I certainly know the benefits of having a medical alert device. I believe they are important for many people not only for us growing older and living alone. I like the GPS component of GreatCall very much. Since having the device, I don't have any worries. I feel confident that it will work if I need it and alert my family in the event that I'm not able to call 911, especially when I go out. When I have called in to check it monthly, they gave me the address that I'm at, which was correct, and informed me that the system's working. However, I was disappointed in the size because it's a bit bigger than I'd like to carry around my neck. But I have recommended GreatCall to people.

I am satisfied with my GreatCall Splash alert device. I use it here on our home. It is easy to use and comfortable to wear. I will refer them to my friends.

I've been using the Splash medical alert device but not the alert button itself because nothing has happened to me yet. I was using another brand before but it was expensive so I quit it and came to Splash. I was alone for a while but now my son is staying with me and my daughter comes over too. I haven't called them since my son watches over me now and says he does not want me to call them.

My family wanted me to have a medical alert service and so I got Splash. So far, I'm happy with it. I would recommend them.

I have tried other medical alert services but I wasn't pleased with them at all. Before my wife passed, I had one of these GreatCall Splash for her. I've had a good experience with them. I love it and I'm totally satisfied with it. My family is elderly and I recommended it to all of them. Most of them have some type of device but it's not as good as GreatCall Splash.

My father-in-law had a couple of falls outside the house so we decided that it would be a good idea to get him a call button. He had a different device before but it kept dropping his connection or power. It would tell him it was out of battery, but then I could check on it and it was full, so we don't know if it was not getting a good connection or not. He has been much more apt and comfortable to go out and do things now that he's got GreatCall. All things have been good so far, but he had a little trouble hearing when I did a test call. Nevertheless, he can hold it up to his ear and then can hear better.

I had a bad knee and I was starting to fall, so my family thought that I should have something that would alert them when I need help. I’m happy with GreatCall’s device because I, and other people, don’t even know it’s on while it’s there for my use. There was one instance when I had it down a little farther on my waist, when all of a sudden, somebody started talking to me. They thought I had pushed the button, when I only accidentally hit it causing it to come on. I had to convince them that I was okay. I would recommend GreatCall.

I'm 90 years old and I live alone so I purchased a medical alert device from GreatCall. Now I'm more secure having the device. Though I haven't had an experience using it yet, but I'm satisfied with it.

I purchased a GreatCall Splash device because everybody thought I should get one when I fell due to my sinus infection and my ear equilibrium was off. I'm doing really well, I have it all the time and I take it to bed with me. It's comfortable and convenient for me. I haven’t had to use it and I'm thankful for that.

I have a degenerative joint disease in my hips, so I needed a medical alert device. Before using GreatCall, I used another medical alert service, but I decided to switch because the previous one only worked in the house. I'm usually alone when I go out, so if I fall down, at least I know I could get a voice. I test the device every month to check and make sure it is working.

I live alone and I'm a senior citizen. Also, I have a drop foot - I wear a brace and I'm on a walker, and if I fall, I can't get up. I used another medical alert service but it didn't go with me wherever I went so I switched to GreatCall Splash Medical Alert. I feel more independent and have fewer worries owning it. The device is very comfortable. I've had very good experiences with their representatives this time, but once before, I didn't. I haven't had any reason to use it yet, but I would recommend it.

I have the GreatCall device by my bed and I take it with me when I go out for a walk with my dog and when I go shopping. I feel very secure when I take it with me because I've had such a good response. Once, I had a delusion from some medication and I fell out. I didn't hurt myself but I needed the help to get up so I called and they sent an ambulance out right away. They were very nice and they were willing to take me to the emergency room but I didn't feel I needed to go there so the lady that was on the ambulance said, "if later on something comes up, don't be afraid to call us because we'll come out."

My husband passed away some time ago and I live in a house by myself. I had a fall down once, so my children insisted that I use some medical alarms. Now that I have GreatCall Splash, I have fewer worries. I just put it on underneath my top. It's not always comfortable to wear because it makes my neck itch but it's really not bad and I don't even think about it. All in all, I would recommend them.

My daughter got GreatCall Splash for me as I'm almost 88 years old and she thought it would be a good idea for me to have one. It really gave her a peace of mind, she wouldn't have to worry when she's not in the area. She also liked the profile options online where our neighbor and its contact info was there. When I'd need anything, it'd be a lot easier for me to use the beeper which contain the medical information of my doctor and number than try to look them up and leave a message.

I'm living by myself a good deal of the time and if I fall, I didn't know how to get to somebody so I need a medical alert. I've had trouble with the strap that goes with it. I use it on my wrist, and the strap is tricky to deal with. It gets too tight sometimes on my arm and I can only let it out just so far. But the GreatCall makes me more noticeable of what I'm doing.

My sister wanted me to be safe because I've had some medical issues and I live by myself. So we looked up lots of medical alert devices online and GreatCall seems to be the best. Now I feel safer and have fewer worries since I wear their device every day.

I was having some problems falling here at home and I thought I might need a medical alert device so I purchased GreatCall Splash. I wear it around in my house or if I'm going to be out and think that I might need an emergency control. It's comfortable to wear although I haven't had any other experience with calling or receiving information with it. But, I have fewer worries and I feel more independent with this device.

So far so good. I haven't used it yet but it's a good feeling to know it's there. I wear it around my neck.

I didn't have to use my GreatCall but it has been great. The team was very helpful and the device was easy to use. I already recommended them to a friend.

My medical alarm from GreatCall is wonderful. I take it where I go by myself. Most people think if you have a medical alert, you are just like the stationary one that you have in your home. But I go out everyday. I'm not one to stay at home so I'm out and about and do nothing but just walking. I bought a chain so I can wear it around my neck. If I fall or something and its in my purse, I might not get my purse. I felt it would be safer if I wear it around my neck. I feel safe because I know if I need help, I can get help.

I had a good experience with GreatCall. I'm handicapped and needed help so I purchased a medical alert device. However, the device hangs down too low, but I do feel safer with it.

I purchased a GreatCall Splash device because I'm 81 years old, I got two bad feet and two bad knees so I was falling everywhere and I'm seeing things all the time. The thing is it's aggravating to open and I don't know how to charge it up. I don't know what to do when that red dot comes on. However, I got it around my neck and it's comfortable to wear.

It’s good to have GreatCall Splash especially when you’re old and like to go out. It’s very good and it works for me. I recommend it to others.

So far, our GreatCall Splash experience has been very good. I used to be with another medical alert service and this one is easier to carry around and a lot easier for me to handle than the one before. I like that I can take it everywhere with me. When I go out with my family, I take it with me. I have it in my bathroom when I'm taking a shower. It's very helpful and comforting to have it handy. Moreover, GreatCall representatives that I talked to were all very good. I would recommend it.

I had congestive heart failure, and I had my first blackout last Saturday because I overextended myself. I laid down on the ground for about ten minutes, then I was okay. I didn't even think about activating the GreatCall device because my wife was right there helping me and she could tell that I was not completely unconscious. Our minister next door happened to observe what happened from inside his house, and that's what happened. Now I'm confident with it. When I take off the device or I put it in, it makes a sound, and I'm glad about that. My wife is a lot more comfortable since I'm wearing this, and I'm also getting used to it.

I have a Jitterbug phone which I paid for and I was to give it a try and if I did not like it I could cancel within that 30 days. The phone was sent to me back in Sept 2015 and the phone went completely blank within a week and it died. I was shipped another phone which I received after a week and half and I shipped the other phone back and used the other phone for a week or so and ended up canceling it within that 30-days. Shipped the other phone on time. Spoke to someone named the supervisor was going to check on my refund and my bill since it was overcharged and get back to me.

I'm 84 years old, still traveling, selling and playing the trombone. My wife had passed and I don't have anyone living with me so I have the medical alert device for my safety. I've got two devices, one at home and another one which I always carry. It works in my car, or stick it in my pocket, bring it at the stage, or anywhere around the country. My first call was quite adequate. It fits my lifestyle.

I had a different medical alert device before and it costs $65 a month. I think it was useless because it doesn't work outside the house. It had lots of feature which I also have individually, like the oxygen for example. They drilled holes on the wall and activated smoke detector, but the device didn't work. They kept on insisting that it was because of batteries. My daughter ended up canceling it and we had to send everything back to them. Then I got a hold of GreatCall Splash Medical Alert because it was a simple apparatus. It's so easy to operate. When you turn it off, it will have a sparkling red light instead of a green. I haven’t been wearing it. I got to get the habit of wearing it again. There’s two times that I've had with it, you got to me right away. Now I have it on my neck or hooked into my trousers. It gives me assurance that if I do fall again, which happened a year ago, it would be easier to ask for help.

My old device was more expensive than GreatCall. Also, I was able to get rid of my landline when I switched. I think the device is a little bit bulky, but it's all right. It works fine for me and I'm able to recharge when it's necessary.

I'm always at risk of falling and I feel more confident with GreatCall. I haven't had to press the button yet. It's comfortable to wear but I don't wear it around my neck because it's too heavy. I put it in my pocket and attach it to my belt loop. It's a fine product just the way it is.

I started to need a medical alert device when my medicine was screwed up and I kept on falling. The last time I fell, I cracked 2 ribs. So I keep my GreatCall Splash medical alert device with me all the time. It comes in handy. I wear it when I'm in the house and I put in my pocket if I go out. If I go out with my son, I might not take it because he's there with me. But otherwise, I keep it in my hand all day long. I keep it by the chair where I can reach it and if I'm doing something in the kitchen, I'll put it in my pocket.

I live alone and my son wants me to be protected so he bought GreatCall for me. In case anything happens that I needed help, I would just have it available. I had fallen one night, about midnight and in trying to get up, it took me a couple of hours to get myself from one spot to another. So when my son found that out, he got me GreatCall so I could call for help because it was after midnight then and there was nobody with me. I'd definitely recommend it. It's comfortable and easy to wear. I wear it especially if I'm gonna be outside, it goes out a farther place than most other equipment do.

I have very poor balance so my wife decided I needed a medical alert device so that I could call if I fell so I have the GreatCall Splash. The battery doesn't last and I have to charge it every week. That's not even as good as my razor.

I had a heart attack in 1987 so I figured I needed a medical alert device. I had a different device before. It was a big hook-up with a phone. A friend of mine told me about GreatCall. I called up and I got it. Their staff were very nice, helpful, and informative. Compared with the one I had before, I feel better with GreatCall. I keep the device all along in my pocket. It's like a part of me now.

My mom has the GreatCall Splash and it's working pretty good. I wanted her to have some way to notify somebody if something happens so I purchased a medical alert device for her. It would enable her to continue to live alone. She said it was a little irritating initially. She had a longer lanyard and it kept bumping into everything. So we put it up a little bit and she's fine with it now. I like the feature that I can see where she's at so I know when she's out and about. And also I can make sure it's charged and that she has it on her. Those are very comforting to me because I live far away from her. When I went to set it up, the team was very helpful. It was very easy to set up and use. Everybody was very courteous. I'm very happy with it. It gives me peace of mind to know that even if she falls and can't press the button, it'll still go ahead and alert. All the features that it has is very nice.

I decided that I needed a medical alert device because I have been falling a couple of times a month. Although I’m better now, I live by myself in a remote area, so I wanted to get one. I had another one previously, but I’m not tethered to the house and I need a device that would work wherever I go. And so I decided to go to GreatCall Splash. I like their device because though I don’t, I can wear it even in the shower if I wanted to. I don’t always wear it because sometimes I forget, but I do when I remember. There have been a few times when I accidentally hit the button and the people from the team were always nice and polite. I’ve recommended GreatCall to a few people and a friend of mine just got one.

I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I sat up for a minute and put my feet on the floor, and my legs just sort of collapsed under me. I fell down and couldn't get up. I was having a little nasty reaction to Macrodantin, but the fact that I couldn't get up alone helped me decide that I needed a device. I'm a lot more cautious now even though I have them. I'm more cautious about falling down, and now I make sure that I got both feet under me before I stand up.

I'm 88, a widow and alone in the country. My children wanted me to have something so they'd know where I am and what I'm doing, that's why we purchased GreatCall. The great thing about the device is it works anywhere, unlike my previous alert device which had a base in the house that you couldn't go very far away from it. I'm satisfied with GreatCall but the biggest trouble I have is I wear the device around my neck and then you either have to put it in inside your clothes or you risk hitting something on the outside. I've got it tucked in my bra and sometimes it gets too warm. I don't like it hanging around my neck and would rather wear it on my arm.

Prey upon the elderly and disabled. DO NOT be deceived, don't waste your money / time. Wanted the $9.99 per month. A year later the monthly bill is $84.50 for a cheap, tired, old push button phone. Anyone with a brain in customer service would suggest an upgrade to a better device with more features. But NO, they don't care at all. Emily in customer service was impatient and rushed. They do not take the time necessary for business with senior citizens. Cancel immediately.

I haven't used my GreatCall Splash device but my girl friend has used hers and she was very impressed. She started to feel dizzy and she pressed the button, and as she's talking to the operator, the ambulance came. So it was very, very fast. I feel very secure with it. I'm getting older and sometimes I feel a little woozy or something and my balance goes over. I wanted my husband to get one, so we both have them, and we always know where each other is because we have it on our phone which is good. My grandson who doesn't look at it has both of us on his phone too. When I go out in the morning and pick up the newspaper in front of the house, we make sure we have GreatCall. It makes you feel good that at least, you know somebody is there if there is a problem or (God forbid) in an emergency. You can just press the button.

GreatCall works really well. My daughters love having it and I've gotten good service out of it. I had strokes a couple of times. The last time, I was standing in the kitchen feeling absolutely great, the next thing I knew, I was on the floor and I felt a storm had hit me. But I pushed the button and told them I need help, and then a few minutes the fire department was here and took me to the hospital. The people at GreatCall are very knowledgeable. I would recommend them to a friend.

I have GreatCall which I put in my pocket when I go. I used it once for an ambulance to go to the OU hospital in Edmond. Their customer service was good and were 15 minutes away.

When I fell, my family thought I need something to call for help. My daughter got me the GreatCall Splash Medical Alert. When I first started, the team from GreatCall Splash have been helpful. They gave me instructions and sent me the thing that goes around on my neck. It's not very heavy and I'm satisfied with it.

I have a GreatCall Splash device because my son insisted on it. It is comfortable and sometimes I forget that it's here. I carry it around with me and I'm happy with it.

After months of service, I used the device for the first time to call for emergency services for an accident that others had been involved in. The call was answered promptly and sounded clear, and they quickly dispatched police. In all conversations, from the one emergency call to the calls to get set up and ask questions, the personnel have been professional and respectful. I've gained peace of mind thanks to the indicator that shows that it has reception, and despite some topographical challenges, the service has been uninterrupted, even in parking garages underground and in elevators.

My mom is a diabetic, has been for 52 years. She's 88 and still drives a lot so we got her a GreatCall to track her better because she's so mobile. The medical alert device she has around the house didn't cover everywhere she went. GreatCall has better coverage. It seemed large when we first got it, but she has an insulin pump that was about the same size. And she also has a monitor for blood sugar and a cellphone.

I live alone so we thought it would be good to have an alert device. I had Lifeline before, but I had to have a phone with that and I had trouble with the phone company so I switched to GreatCall. I haven't had to use it, but it's working. I wear it all the time and wherever I go. Everything is fine except when I was going to get the device at the end of August, I asked them not to take the money out of my bank until after the third because that was my payday. They promised me they wouldn't, but they did. There was a $35 charge, so I was a little disturbed about that but it's all straightened out now. I just borrowed the money and put it in the bank to cover it and it was okay. I would still recommend them.

I had a bad automobile accident in March. I had some mobility problems and I took a nasty fall in the driveway. 17 people drove by on bicycles or cars before the 18th group stopped to help me get up. That doesn’t sound right in a busy residential area, but that’s true. I got a GreatCall Splash device and I wear it everyday. When I walk the dog using my walker, I feel more comfortable in the dark because I know that I could alarm anybody at 9:00 o’clock at night. It gives me peace of mind. I have to charge it about every third day though. It sounds like a telephone when it goes “tee-too-tee-too.” I keep turning off the cellphone and I don’t realize it’s the GreatCall Splash device telling me that it needs to go back on the charger. However, I wouldn’t recommend it because the cost is not good, it is too expensive.

Living alone and not in best of health led me to need a medical alert device. I switched to GreatCall because this one was with me wherever I went and the other one was just good in the house. Since using GreatCall Splash, I feel more confident and comfortable. I feel blessed to have it. In addition, interacting with the GreatCall team has been outstanding.

I will be 85 this month, and I have a handicapped son in a wheelchair and should he be sitting in his TV chair or in bed, he would not be able to call for help if something happens to me. So for both of us to be taken care of, I got this device from GreatCall Splash Medical Alert. It perfectly fits into my day-to-day life. It's always with me, and I don't have to worry for that kind of an emergency.

GreatCall Splash worked good for me. I'm a diabetic and I experience lows once in a while so when I saw their ad on the AARP magazine, I got their medical alert. I had a camp up in New Hampshire and I fell down the stairs either because of the beer I drank or my diabetes or both. My buddy who was with me pressed the alarm button. The police reacted to it and the ambulance came and took me away. I ended up at Wolfeboro Hospital. They said they couldn't help me out because of the injuries that I had. I ended up at Manchester Catholic Hospital and after about 4 days there, I just had enough of it and I checked out of the hospital. GreatCall Splash worked for me and I will recommend it to everyone.

I got the GreatCall Splash medical alert device because I had a couple of fainting spells which turned out to be due to excessive blood pressure medicine that was prescribed to me, but I've got that corrected now. I never had any concerns and was quite confident before because I haven't had any health issues until these fainting spells. But I'm sure as I age, this medical alert device will continue to give me peace of mind, so I carry it in my pocket, although I haven't used it yet. I'm still having trouble though in forgetting it sometimes. I haven't had any problems, so I'm a little okay with it, and it's been very good so far.

I set up my dad with the GreatCall Splash. Felt great knowing he could summon help or me instantly whenever, wherever he was. We were satisfied... Until the clip that holds the device to his clothing, belt or lanyard broke. Once the clip breaks you cannot attach his device to anything, including the lanyard - the lanyard ties around the clip and the clip goes in the device, secured by a flimsy plastic tab. Figuring since the clip breaks easily there should be a multitude of suppliers on eBay, Amazon or somewhere. NOTHING.

I got a GreatCall Splash and carry it with me all the time so I can use it just in case I need it like if I fall or have an accident. I used their customer service once at the time when I set the device up and I had no problems. I'm very satisfied with it and I would recommend it to a friend.

I’m 78 years old and I took a fall in the backyard and had a very hard time getting up because I fell between a fence and a retaining wall. I just couldn’t get up and nobody was around. I said it’s time to get one of these medical alert devices. About the time, I was ready to get one and start investigating, a friend of mine came in from Arizona. I was telling her about it and she said, “You need one of these” and she reached her bra and pulled it out. Then I just followed through it. I haven’t had GreatCall that long because I was very negligent. It sat for about two months and I said, “You’re paying for this thing. Get it set up.” I just make sure I’ve got it with me if I have an emergency, but somebody said to me, “What good does it do if you pass out?” And I said, “Well, hopefully, I’ll come to and be able to call them.” The couple of times I’ve accidentally dropped it and it hung up, somebody is called and I’ve had to apologize. I’ve already recommended GreatCall to friends.

I live alone and I do a lot of walking. I thought it would be safe for me to have a medical alert service. I had one before but it worked only in the house. It was on a free trial basis and I didn't care for it. I like GreatCall Splash because I can use it no matter where I am. I feel safer because I carry it with me all the time and in an emergency, I have it.

My daughter-in-law got the GreatCall Splash medical alert device for my husband and me. She thought we needed it because we're both approaching 90 and the two of us live alone. I need a strap or hook on the end of it, but other than that, it's fine. We haven't yet had any problems or need to use it, thank goodness. But now, whenever my husband goes out to the barn by himself, I make sure he takes it with him. And whenever I've had to leave the house and my husband, who has to have a walker to walk, I make sure he's got it right where he can use it to get a hold of me. So it gives us some feeling of security.

I'll be 80 on Thanksgiving Day. I've had lung cancer, have COPD, two kinds of glaucoma, and bad knees. It's an overall getting worn out thing that's why I need the GreatCall device, and I feel more confident with it now. I pushed the button to make sure it worked and to know that somebody would answer, and it worked fine. I have recommended it to many people once I got it. My only complaint is the device is too heavy to wear around my neck and so I have to have something with a pocket in order to put it in.

I'm living alone by myself so I bought GreatCall. I'm trying to be a little more careful at home and when I go out. I received a call from one of their reps when I accidentally punched the call button. It was flashing red one time and I was trying to turn it off. They were real nice. I told them what I was trying to do, they said okay. I carry the device around my neck. Wherever I go, it goes with me. I feel a lot more comfortable with it and I'm glad I have it.

I’m 89 and just lost my husband so I’m trying to stay by myself. I had to pick up my three-wheeled bicycle and fractured my back. I had to have chiroplasty which is a cement they put in my vertebrae, but I still got problems with my hips. Our children live over about a mile and a half away, and they didn’t want me falling and getting hurt. That’s why I got GreatCall Splash. Although I had to give my credit card number which I seldom do in order to pay my monthly fee, it worked out very satisfactorily. When I tried to call to tell them I had just purchased the device, my call was answered right away. I feel safer and more confident with GreatCall Splash. I've got it all day with me. I can get out on my bicycle or I can go to the neighborhood grocery without feeling afraid because if I did fall, I would just call them.

I am very satisfied in all ways with GreatCall Splash. Their team members did exactly what I expected them to do and they were very professional from the start to finish. I fell one night and hit my ribs and the next day I feel like pretty much okay but the next night it was bothering me quite a bit and I got up and laid down on our lounge chair and sneeze. It was the first time I felt like my entire insides have been ripped out of me, and I could not move. I couldn't get up but I did have my GreatCall button on and so I pressed it and eventually they were able to get an EMT sent out. They checked me over and said, "Hey, there is nothing wrong with you. Get up and be a man."

I haven't used my GreatCall Splash device much yet, which is a good thing but it's better than the one that I had before. Everything went out - phone, TV, etc. which meant my lifeline alert went out too and I was here three days with no way of communicating with anyone. Now, with this GreatCall, if everything goes out I still have it and that is a big thing with me. I am an 89-year old great grandmother on a wheelchair and I live alone. I have this confidence having a medical alert device here when I need it. I put it in this thing to keep the battery up, and they said I should do it when I go to bed but sometimes I sleep a little later and I was wondering if it would do it harm to leave it on there.

I'm very pleased with GreatCall Splash. I live by myself and I have several medical issues. I like the fact that I didn't have to have it hanging around my neck. It fits perfectly with my lifestyle. I have recommended it to several friends who already have it.

I live alone and I was falling quite a bit. My daughter and I talked it over and she told me I better have something in case I fall. We checked with other medical alert companies and one had a landline while another had a two-year contract. I got the GreatCall Splash without having a landline and the price is more than reasonable. I can go for my walk, sit and watch TV, go to bed, take a shower and I don't have to worry if I fall and get hurt because I know help is nearby. I've used it three times and the maximum time for help to arrive was 10 minutes. I live right in town and the first two times I used it, it was around 8 minutes when the fire department and ambulance came at the same time.

My family wanted me to have a medical alert device. My daughter checked around and liked GreatCall's plan and what they offered. I'm an independent 87 yr old but in very good health - a few issues but nothing major. When I first got it I didn't carry it that much. I told my daughter I would leave it by my bedside and carry it into the bathroom when I shower. Then I started just carrying it with me all the time for no reason, for a little security. I'm very satisfied with them and have recommended it to a friend.

There are so many medical alert devices out there but when I saw GreatCall Splash, it seemed it would work for me. I can hook it on my pants and that's the reason I chose it. I don’t wear anything around my neck and I don’t like anything around my wrist except when I go to church. It’s also better than a cell phone. Cell phones and I don’t get along, and I just threw one out. I haven’t really used my GreatCall Splash device, but I know how to use it and push the button if something does happen. I would recommend it.

I haven't had to use my Greatcall medical alert device but I feel secure that I've got it near me all the time when I'm in the house and when I'm out shopping. I'm very satisfied with it.

At 93 years of age, having a medical alert device is a comfort. When I take a shower, I've got it there if I need it. I also love that GreatCall gives me the availability of help away from home. I encountered no problems dealing with their team.

My wife passed away and my children said I should get a medical alert device. I got the Greatcall, they okayed it but I’ve never used it since.

I used to have another medical alert device but they were taking too much out of my bank account and sometimes they would take it twice a month. So I said, "No, lets just cancel this thing." and so we did and my son got me GreatCall Splash Medical Alert. I haven't had any trouble with it at all. I've never had to call anybody. I get dizzy every once in awhile. I feel like I'm going to fall. Other than that, I don't have any problem. It's fine, it's easy to use. I just placed it inside my bra. I would recommend it to anybody.

I have trouble getting up and my balance is bad so I needed a medical alert device. I have one from GreatCall Splash in my pocket, it doesn't go around the neck. I called them once and they've been really good. I was out in the garden and fell, and had nothing I could hold on to to get myself up, but they stayed on the phone until the fire department came which came right away and they were very nice.

I live alone and because of my age, I decided to purchase GreatCall. I wear it on a chain around my neck and I put it inside my bra. Nobody even knows it's there, but it's there all the time. Now I feel more secure with the fact that I'll have help anytime that I need it. One time, I accidentally pushed it twice and they answered right away. I was really impressed and that gave me a feeling of security. It serves its purpose and that's what I needed.

September last year, I was using the original 5Star. I was coming in from the outdoors where it was very shiny and sunny. I was wearing dark glasses and carrying a heavy briefcase and a heavy pocketbook. So I raced up the driveway and I dashed inside and I wanted to put the briefcase in the library. So I was running through the kitchen top speed, still had my glasses on. But I forgot there was a carton of canned cat food, so I tripped, fell and broke my arm. I sat there and pulled out and pushed the button of my 5Star. And the guy was there immediately - he called the ambulance and stayed with me until the ambulance was coming.

The Jitterbug phone works great but I am VERY disappointed that any photos I take with the phone cannot be downloaded directly to a computer. The only way to transfer photos is to send them to someone who has a "smartphone" and then have them download to a computer. GreatCall charges a 25 cent fee for each photo sent which may not seem like much but it does add up when you happen to be on a fixed income just barely keeping your head above water.

I'm disabled. I had polio and post-polio syndrome and I'm losing more motor function all the time that's why I got a GreatCall. I keep it with me all the time. I haven't used it recently but it works fine and I know it's there, so it's great.

I live alone and I had a fall at home. I was blessed that I wasn't hurt. I had already been considering a device for a year and a half and just kept procrastinating. In fact I've checked into several but they had too many requirements. So after that fall, I remembered the commercial, I went online and started researching about GreatCall and then called them the next morning. I have hooked the medical alert necklace on a chain to my diabetic necklace and I wear them under my clothes. As I was busy vacuuming up my car, I lay it on the feet to vacuum out a section and I must have pressed the button and then I heard Ring! Ring! and I said, "Somebody must have left their cellphone in my car."

I’m single and getting older, so I thought purchasing a medical alert device was a smart thing to do. I used one years ago, but GreatCall’s price was excellent, and based on the fact that the other one was home-based which had 600 feet range compared to the GreatCall which has unlimited range since it has GPS, I chose GreatCall. The device is part of my life. I wear it all the time and have it by my bed at night. I don’t give it any thought. It’s just there, and it’s really great. There is nothing better, and I love my GreatCall.

I'm single and I'm getting older so I thought it was a smart thing to do to get GreatCall Splash. I love it and it think there is nothing better than them. The price was excellent. It has GPS with unlimited range. It's part of my life. I wear it all the time and I have it by my bed at night. It's really great, perfection. I have recommended this to so many people, I couldn't even begin to count, and I know several people who's gone ahead and bought them.

I bought a medical alert device since I was concerned about living alone, falling ill, falling down, and getting something beyond what one cannot do to call for help. The first one I got was Life Alert which was the first that came out years ago. Then I switched to GreatCall because with Life Alert you had to be within the range of the unit, whereas with GreatCall you don’t have to be by that unit in your home to contact one for help. You could be at home or in Hawaii and you can call for help. It would be nice though if GreatCall came out with a longer running type battery that would last for 5-10 days rather than just 1-2 days.

I’m very pleased with GreatCall Splash. I had to use it one time and it worked great. I’ve recommended it to many people. I told them all the advantages of it and I hope they get it. The only disadvantage that I can say is that I have the necklace type thing and it’s too big. No matter what you do, it’s going to show on your bra and underneath your blouse. If you put it in your pocketbook, you’ve got to kind of look for it and then sometimes you might be searching for something else and then punch it. I haven’t done that. But sometimes I end up putting it in my pocketbook when I’m going out.

I'm 80 years old and my husband passed away, so I'm by myself. I also fall for no reason at all about every 6 months. To me, GreatCall is the best one there is. I can wear it anywhere and if I push the button by mistake just like when I had it under my shirt when I was in San Antonio, they came through and told me exactly where I am in San Antonio. That's why I would not ever go to another kind. I’ve never realized that they have the GPS, and now they're waterproof. I'm never without it. It's always on me when I'm up and when I'm in bed.
