Lively Mobile2 Reviews

So far, I'm not impressed with GreatCall. I downloaded the app from the Apple Store and received "Error Message 500" several times when I tried to connect. The Customer Service person was helpful enough and told me that it would take 2-3 business days to resolve the issue. Incredible! I will not recommend this company or its products to anyone.

I love the device. However, the accessory clip that attaches to the back of the device needs to be made out of metal. The small plastic piece that holds the clip to the main part of the accessory clip breaks too easily. Your supplier needs to be notified that this is an issue for your customers. This could cause someone to lose their device.

Last year I couldn’t walk for a couple of months. My legs were all swelled up so I thought I’d better get a medical alert device because I can’t rely on cell phones or land phones that much. Though I never have used it, the people at GreatCall are there and answer instantly. And the best part is the price. Most of the others ones are $35.

I am 90 years old and live by myself so I have GreatCall. It is comfortable to wear and easy to use. All you have to do is push a button. One time I was doing something and accidentally hit the button and the voice came and it shocked me. They asked if I was alright. That's how accurate they are. I would recommend it to anybody.

I haven't had to use my GreatCall for an emergency but when I check in to see that it's working, somebody always answers so I am satisfied. Every now and then it beeps and goes off, and then it comes back on and says Welcome and it's just kind of disconcerting.

I like GreatCall Splash. I had to get a different lanyard to put it on around my neck. I'm not afraid to walk or go downstairs anymore because I keep it around my neck. I really, really like it a lot. I should have done this a long time ago. I was just too, "Nah, I don't need it. I'll be fine, and dah, dah, dah." But no...I now appreciate it a whole lot and I'm glad I got it. I wish I had gotten it sooner. I have recommended GreatCall to a friend. She's a couple of years older than me and I told her that she and her husband needed one, and she said okay. I'd be happy if my review is going to help another senior citizen out there.

I recommend it to everybody I see because in the first place, it's not just local, it goes out. Secondly, I recently accidentally dropped it and my cell phone in the washing machine and it ruined my phone but it didn't do a thing to my GreatCall alarm. When they say it's water proof, it's water proof. I just love it! And another thing about it, they don't have those big old boxes that go with so many controls on them, because I have tried one or two medical alerts previously and they can't compare with Greatcall. I think it's fantastic.

I carry it around my neck and it's there. Sometimes the red light was showing and flashing instead of the green one and this happened a couple of times. I called their office and I was in the customer service and he told me what to do to get it working properly again. I've had fine service so far so I can't complain. Originally I have a few things that bothered me when I was getting it set up. Luckily I haven't had an emergency. I'm assuming that it's all in place in case I need it. Periodically I do check to see that we're connected, so to speak, in case of emergency.

I live alone so Greatcall gives me more peace of mind. One time when I pressed the button accidentally when I was cleaning, they answered and they asked me if there's emergency and I told her no, I just pressed it against the snow. They were real nice about it. I don't have a home phone so I feel good because I don't have to have that because I got this and this is less expensive than having a home phone! What I don't like though is the amount of time I have to charge it because I feel a little unsafe about charging it. I feel a little bit uncomfortable when I sleep at night without it.

I am happy with GreatCall Splash. I’m not wearing the bracelet or the necklace but if I’m concerned when I take the car out, I take it with me. If I need to talk to somebody, I can talk to them quickly.

The new Splash model works well as did the older unit but it has some Issues.

GreatCall Splash saved my life the first 12 hours I bought it. I thought I wouldn’t make it to the hospital without it and I was there for 30 days. I got the alert device because I live alone since my wife passed away a couple of years ago and I ride the motorcycle a lot so I like the idea of being able to contact somebody if I go down. I’m happy with them and I would recommend not only to several friends but to my doctors.

I take my GreatCall Splash everywhere - restaurants, doctor visits, meeting with friends, markets, stores. Thank God I don't have to use it yet. I hope the moment that I need it, Greatcall is going to be there. The only concern that I have is when I push the button, they would know where I am even if I don't talk (right?). The reason why I bought it is for my son who has a problem. I can protect him but he cannot protect me. He gets nervous sometimes and he doesn’t know how to react well. I'm concerned that if something happens to me I hope he knows how to talk to the people at Greatcall...and if he cannot, I hope Greatcall can help him right away. I hope that he can talk at that moment because he gets nervous and paranoid sometimes whenever something happens to me. I'm recommending it to everybody. Their monthly service is not that bad but I hope they don't increase the fee.

I got a GreatCall because I need to let somebody know in case I fall down. I think it's great if I have to use it. I would recommend it.

I have two artificial hips and sometimes my balance isn't too good. I feel comfortable wearing Splash every time I leave the house. I just got to remember to put it on when I get up in the morning. I'm very satisfied.

GreatCall is a great thing. I wear it all the time and I'm doing fine with it. I like it because it will notify my daughter and granddaughter if something happens to me.

I don't actually need a medical alert device at the moment because I'm very fit. However, there's always a possibility that I'll fall so I got GreatCall. It's very easy to use though I'm forgetting to put it in the charger overnight and I'm wondering how long the battery lasts. I clip it to my belt or I'd pop it in my pocket whereas the other systems have got this great big thing sitting beside your telephone. Also, price-wise, it's good compared to others. It's marvelous. I have put leaflets around in our library downstairs so, hopefully, people pick them up and read about GreatCall. I recommended it to a very dear friend and they also bought it.

Getting GreatCall was a good decision. I never had to use it yet but I find it convenient. Since having it I have fewer worries -- I keep it by the bed so if I have to use it, it's right there. It sits by my bed or I carry it in a pocket or in my purse.

I thought the necklace (black cord) was ugly. I changed mine and used one of my silver chains. It's much smaller and more feminine. I would like it better if the actual unit was smaller, but I can live with this size. I don't notice it when it's on so I use it regularly.

GreatCall Splash is great. This morning I had it with me when I bumped against the cabinet as I was walking by, and dropped it. It came off, slipped and fell and came on immediately. I told the girl, whoever was calling me, what happened, that it came on, on its own. It worked just fine. One of my friends in Stinnett had this medical alert device and she suggested that I get it too. I've never really liked it because I've never used it. It's too big to go around your neck or wrist so I just clip it on the side of my large slacks. I haven't ever had to use it yet. I've recommended it to three women that live here in this retirement center where I'm at and I know that one of them is going to buy it.

1st monitor activated 11/29/'13. Oct. '14, the clip broke and there was no way to attach the monitor to pants. Reimburse thru plan from Walmart. 2nd one purchased 12/14/'14. CLIP broke in Jan.'15. Very poor CLIP...no way to attach it. When CLIP was opened to put on belt, it stays in the stretch position. When taken off the belt, it does not return to closed. There is no 'spring' action. Walmart did not have a replacement plan. After talking to Great Call, I was given a link which was no good. so I could not buy a replacement plan on new one.

I like Greatcall a lot. I had fallen quite a few times and figured it is better to have it so that I can just call my daughter and she could come and pick me up from the floor. It's great because immediately if that happens I press the button and somebody answers. Plus the people at Greatcall are very friendly and the device is very comfortable to wear. I live much better and more at peace since having it.

I never had to use it but it's handy and I find it comfortable to use.

I have the pacemaker so I thought I should get the GreatCall Splash medical alert device. No real experiences as far as using it but they're always friendly every time I got to speak with them. It's nice to know it's there when you need it. Once when I hit the button accidentally they got right there instantly.

I got a medical alert device because I kept falling. I once fell and laid on the bathroom floor for three hours before a neighbor heard me. When the paramedics came, they were advertising this alert. I’m very happy to have this and it’s a lifesaver. I don’t wear it though because it’s too heavy. I called one day and I asked the girl if I could go down to the $14 one and she told me no. She said that you took out this program and that’s what you have to go by. They charge me 16 something last month.

I like GreatCall a lot better compared to a different medical device that I used and also because it has the GPS system. I feel more freedom in moving around in and out of my apartment. I’m an 84-year old elderly with some health problems, who live alone, so I decided to get one. They’ve been good to me and I don’t have any problems with them. The only thing I don’t like is that it’s so big. Wish I could wear it around my neck; instead I have to carry it in my pocket. If I don’t have pockets I’m in trouble so that is a little inconvenient.

I live by myself and the other one I had was from Philips and it only worked in my house. I wanted something that if I went out with my family and fell, I can simply push the button - no more waiting to find a phone. However, I took it off my waist the other day and broke the hook for the belt. Outside that, I haven't had any problem but I haven't had to really use it yet.

I'm a diabetic and I passed out a few times so I needed a medical alert device. I was on First Alert before, but that only reaches to four hundred feet from the base unit and I live in an apartment building, so if I go to the library or to play or listen to music, which is down on the first floor and I'm on the seventh floor, it didn't work. I saw the ad for GreatCall Splash and I thought, "Looks like a good deal to me." Now I have fewer worries knowing my alert device reaches farther. The people at GreatCall have always been very helpful, because I've called a couple of times when I was probably forty miles away from home and they could tell me exactly where it was, which made me feel real good.

I'm never home so consequently when I saw Great Call Splash advertised, I thought that it would be a good thing for me because this way I know I'm covered. They've been great on the phone. I've had no problems at all getting any questions answered or to order any extra things that I wanted. Being a woman, I didn't like the lanyard cause it was a little short and I don't have pockets all the time. It’s too big to wear it as a watch so I bought a gold chain and I made it long enough that I can tuck it into my brassiere. The good thing about it is I haven't had to use it. I already recommended it.

I got two reasons for purchasing GreatCall: (1) my husband lives with me but he's very hard of hearing so if I was to fall and holler for him he would not hear me; (2) so that I'm not without some alert system when he leaves the house, goes to town for something. I haven’t had to use it, thank goodness, but I feel a lot more secure now. Took me a while to get used to it but it don't bother me anymore and I wear it a lot.

I fell out in the yard and couldn’t get back up so I needed a medical alert device. I switched from another medical service which I thought was inadequate. What I like about GreatCall is that I could actually talk to that receiver it has. I usually keep the device in my pocket but I wish there was some way to hang it around my neck like the other one that I was used to. Beyond that, it's been very good. The people have been adequate and pleasant.

I am 85 and I go out, walk around the yard. I'm here alone and I'm just afraid I might fall so my son got me GreatCall. I'm more confident now that I have it. I take it when I go out in the car and go to town, or if I get out in the yard very far from the house, l wear it around my neck. I don't wear it in the house much but I guess I should though I'm pretty near a phone if I fall. There was a time that it was notifying my son when I left, but it stopped doing that. He said he had to reprogram his telephone. I would recommend it to a friend. It makes me feel good.

I am 79 and I live alone so I thought I should get a medical alert device. However, I’ve been very disappointed because I told GreatCall that I wanted the one for the bracelet because I want to sleep with it but the thing they sent was too big for the wrist. I called them about it and they just tell me that because it has a GPS in it, it is that big. When I get up at night, I still have to tumble around to get it and that concerns me.

My devise has given me more security, and has provided me with the confidence I needed. I love my Splash.

I have a bad heart and my kids conned me into getting GreatCall. I like the idea of having somebody to contact right away. I accidentally did a couple times and they were right on the phone. They called and told my family too. They were nice about it and it worked out good. Having GreatCall gives me a little bit of confidence and security if something were to happen, I'd be getting help right away.

I’m having a problem with it right now not staying on the first linear... it falls off. But I have the GreatCall Splash device with me the whole time. I accidentally leaned one time - I had it in the pocket - and it immediately answered so that’s very good. I have been talking to a friend about it.

Whenever I have to use my GreatCall Splash medical alert device, I speak to somebody. I check it periodically and it's very good.

The people at GreatCall Splash are nice and professional. Luckily, we have had no emergency. My only concern is that my mother doesn't wear it around her neck but puts it in her pocket. But everything's been fine. Cost is a lot more reasonable than a lot of the others.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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