    Mobilehelp is one terrible company. I paid for 2 day shipping of the first unit. Didin't arrive in 2 days. Didn't work when arrived. Was told a new unit was overnighted. Didn't arrive overnight. Fall detection on the 2nd unit didn't work. They are now overnighting a 3rd unit. An extra charge they said was "a mistake" was added to my credit card and still has not been refunded. So far I have spent days on the phone, around 10 calls, been on hold for 9-10 HOURS, with 2 junk units I now have to return.

    When you order, someone answers immediately. When you need tech support, it TAKES HOURS FOR SOMEONE TO ANSWER. My 90 year old mom is home from rehab and NOT PROTECTED. The message I hear on hold, on a loop, 10,000 times, says they are an "industry leader." What a joke. I hate this company. My mom lives alone and is currently at risk, because of this shoddy company and their trash products. A week of wasted time, 10 hours on hold, 2 units that belong in the trash, and a 90 year old woman with no protection. Some industry leader. This company SUCKS.

    3-6-2026. **FED UP IN COLORADO.** Poor customer service in trying to get monthly charges correct for system my disabled daughter needs. Mobile help auto system gives one fee we owe, and customer service has no record of that fee. I asked for a supervisor to call me, never did. Not worth the aggravation.

    I was a mobile help customer for years. I was happy with the service until I had to Cancel. My Mom was admitted to a nursing home and I no longer needed to have the Mobile help service. I cancelled as soon as they charged my credit card the $250 for my annual plan. They received the returned mobile help equipment 10 days later. I calculated my refund to be $237. I was refunded $171. They shorted me $66.

    I called and they advised there was a 20% restocking fee. They would not budge. This really pissed me off. Here I am a loyal customer for many years. The unit was several years old. I’m sure they were not going to ship it to someone else without at least cleaning it up, changing batteries etc. Bad business practice to nickel and dime a long time customer at the end of a successful business encounter. They ruined the experience for me and I will not recommend using them in the future.

    My father’s lock box was defective. They sent one that worked. Then he took a tumble and the necklace did not alert. It was on a tile floor. So that is two pieces of defective equipment. I have been trying to file a complaint with Mobile Help through a survey so they know to test their equipment carefully. I have tried three agents and I am disconnected as soon as I state I need to leave a survey so more people know to test it before trusting it will alert. This leads me to believe that it probably happens frequently so I just want people to know to test them with an agent on the phone as soon as it arrives. My dad has worn his for weeks and it would not alert if he fell WITHOUT our knowledge. I also did the test calls each time he wore it. So glad he wasn’t hurt. I would not have filed this complaint but I am pretty angry that I am unable to do the survey with three different agents in their company.

    I am beyond livid at this point. I tried Mobile Help because they’re rating was high. Unfortunately, it did not work in my water area so within their 10 day trial I canceled and sent back all the equipment. They received the equipment a month ago and I still have not received a dime in refund when I call they gave me a BS story and told me to have patience. They took my money immediately. I do not recommend this company to anyone. They are horrific in sticking to the deal. I obviously wanted to work. I had to go with different company. I’m still waiting for my refund and I want everyone to know that this company is a fraud. I am furious at this point.

    I've been paying this company for 10 years since 2015 at least $40/month. I tried to cancel 4 months ago and they claimed they wouldn't unless I returned the 10 year old equipment that you know they will throw in the trash. I told my bank to put a block on them auto charging me and they still found a way around it. I've been driving around with this stupid piece of equipment for 4 months because who can remember to do that when life has 10,000 other things for you to do and I am calling them again to ask to cancel and they just want to argue over this piece of outdated technology they desperately want back. I have paid them over $4800 over the span of 10 years and they refuse to cancel it unless you return the equipment or you pay them another $350 for the piece of plastic.

I called customer service and told them and they are referring this to management. I said I want to return the device. The rep said he would call me later. I replied could you please just send me a return merchant authorization by email now so I don't have to call again So he agreed. After this error plus stalling I don't trust them and it is too much work to get it handled with one call.

    Although the product and service seems to work as outlined, I have never been able to easily access my account on their website and almost every time I call Customer Service they treat me like I'm stupid. I have provided my email multiple times but every time I call they say they don't have it on file. I recently was charged more than the advertised price on their website and more than my usual monthly payment without any notice. When I called to query it, the woman I spoke to (Patty in Retention Dept) was impatient and condescending, showing no empathy with my confusion and frustration. She did offer to waive the extra $2 charge but did not explain to my satisfaction why it was there in the first place and acted irritable when I asked the question. Mobile Help offers a great price for in-home alert pendants, which is why our family chose it, but I have often felt disappointed after my interactions with customer service.

    A truly exceptional technology and real time emergency support. I am 80 years old and have some medical conditions which include instability and a tendency to fall. Not only did I receive support while my husband was in hospital and I was alone for two months, when he finally came home, he had to learn to walk again and had a number of bad falls. I was able to get him EMT support using the Mobilehelp device. Being by myself for the majority of the time, the help button and the fall alert gave me the confidence to get through a terrifying situation, I knew that help was only minutes away if I needed it.

    This has been a very frustrating experience. This sales consultant completely butchered both names. I literally spelled each name out to him. I even gave an example name for each letter and he still misspelled our name. My grandmother's name is FANNY **, My name is INDEA **. How he came up with Sammie ** and Indea **, I have no idea. He does not pay attention at all. It was past 11pm, so instead of making the correction he just hung up. This kind of person is not a person that I’d trust caring for my grandmother in her time of help.

    I bought my service in February and was and am very happy with it. There were some reception problems at first but customer service was very helpful and fixed it. Now I did a routine test and for the first time ever the test failed and a recorded message told me to call customer service. I did and was told that the number had changed. I called the new number and waited for a long time for someone to answer. To my surprise, no human answered, only the usual robot menu and I was finally transferred supposedly to the right department but I waited for 10 minutes and no one picked up the phone.

    I gave up and did the test again and this time it worked. I sent an e-mail complaint to the company and received a form letter which was not at all responsive. At the bottom of the e-mail response was a "warning" that this was sent "from outside the Mobile Help organization." Naturally, no one contacted me as this spurious "help" message had promised. I must now say that for deteriorated (non-existent) customer service I would have to change my original rating.
