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

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

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

I received a call within minutes from my sales representative Tom. He provided an overview of the system that would fit the needs of my mother in-law. We were provided additional details of the operation of the system and all questions were answered honestly. Quick enrollment and big thanks to Tom for making it a good experience.

Elon was my sales Representative and he did a great job. I called back several time times gathering information to help make a decision on which medical alert system to purchase for my wife. He was always helpful, courteous and never pushy. He was a pleasure to deal with. My hope is that when the Mini arrives all will go as smooth as the purchase.

Samantha with Mobile Help was very helpful in explaining the options available for my mom's needs, and was easy to understand.

Since I’ve had the device, I have fallen twice. The alarm went off neither time. The second fall was in the bathroom. I bruised a rib and went to the emergency room. It would’ve been nice if the alarm had gone off. I feel like I threw my money away, and I paid for the whole year!
