ResponseNow Reviews

ResponseNow charges an ongoing rate for its monitoring services, but this rate varies based on the device you choose and how far you pay in advance. For example, a monthly subscription for the Belle device costs $39.95, but you can save around five dollars a month if you pay for a year in advance and two dollars a month if you pay quarterly.

Here’s a brief look at the costs and features of ResponseNow's monitoring devices.

All of ResponseNow’s devices feature a built-in two-way speaker and microphone that lets you communicate with an operator at no extra charge. Once you choose a model, you can select and purchase a monitoring plan directly from the company’s website or by phone. The equipment is included with the cost of your subscription.

After you've purchased your monitoring subscription, ResponseNow sends instructions with the necessary equipment, which comes pre-activated. The company will repair any equipment that fails due to normal wear and tear, and you can purchase device insurance that covers other damage or loss.

With ResponseNow, you can choose between three medical alert options:

• In Home: The company’s traditional in-home monitoring system is water-resistant and includes a lockbox and the option to include multiple users. Although this option has a limited range, it's ideal for those who spend most of their time at home.
• Belle: A basic mobile medical alert monitor, the Belle has a battery that lasts about a month on a full charge. The device is water-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about ruining it in the rain or the shower.
• Belle X: This option offers additional features, like fall detection and an optional caregiver app, for added protection. It’s water-resistant, like the original, but its charge only lasts about one to two weeks.
• Belle W: The only Belle model that comes as a wristband device, the Belle W includes optional fall detection and the optional caregiver app.

ResponseNow is a medical alert company that offers reliable monitoring and products designed to protect older people. It makes a traditional home system and three different on-the-go models. Its mobile monitoring products use Verizon’s or AT&T’s cellular network to contact operators during emergencies.

You can choose between a monthly, quarterly or annual monitoring plan. ResponseNow doesn’t charge for its equipment, but it does require you to return the equipment once your subscription ends.
