Written by:  Howmuchisit.org Staff

MobileHelp, according to the company, is “America’s premier mobile medical alert system,” offering a variety of mobile technology to make sure you’re protected and have peace of mind.

With a simple push of a button in the case of an emergency, the device immediately connects you to a U.S.-based operator who is able to communicate with you to assess the situation through the device.  If help is needed, then a neighbor, family member, friend or even the local emergency services are contacted depending upon the situation.

MobileHelp systems

MobileHelp Classic

The MobileHelp Classic system, the company’s most affordable option, includes a cellular base station with a lighted display and choice of either a waterproof wrist button or neck pendant.  Like all of MobileHelp’s product lines, they offer 24 x 7 support, notifying your friends or family in case an emergency were to occur.  The Classic system, according to the description page, is compatible with the MobileHelp Fall Button™ with automatic fall detection, an optional monthly premium add-on.

MobileHelp Duo

The Duo system includes a base station, a cradle charger, the mobile device, a waterproof wrist button or neck pendant as well as a mobile pouch to carry your device around when on the go and is said to one of the most versatile setups for connecting with emergency assistance while inside or away from the home.  Working both inside and outside the home via ATT cellular towers, the Duo system requires no landline or equipment purchase.

MobileHelp Solo

The Solo device is lightweight, with the ability to work either inside of the home or away backed with GPS technology, all with the simple push of a button.  Just like the other devices, this lightweight device includes a choice of either a waterproof wrist button or neck pendant and is also compatible with the MobileHelp Fall Button™ with automatic fall detection, an optional monthly premium add-on.

MobileHelp Smart

Worn as a smartwatch, powered by Samsung, the MobileHelp Smart option gets help with the push of a button.  The watch offers features such as a built-in microphone, vital sign sensor, health-focused applications, and activity tracking, offering 24-hour/365 day protection like the other options.  Unlike the other devices, however, you will need to purchase the smartwatch, about $350 at the time of this publishing, and continue to pay the monitoring fee to keep it active.

How do the devices work?

The home units will work with either a pendant, which is worn around the neck just like a necklace, or a wristband, similar to that of a wristwatch.  On the device, no matter which option you choose, will be a rather large button that you will need to press in the case of an emergency, or in the case of adding the “Fall Button,” then this add-on, while not 100% accurate, will automatically alert your device if it senses a fall.  Once activated, it will then alert the MobileHelp team, who will then be able to communicate with you via the device immediately and send the help needed.

Warranty

Since the company owns the equipment sent, they will send you a replacement immediately if your current setup were to malfunction.  As noted, they also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, with no obligation, to see if you like how the system works.  If the equipment is lost, damaged or stolen and is considered your fault, you will be responsible for the cost of the equipment unless you purchase the Connect Premium plan.

Tips to know

The company uses the AT&T network, meaning it may not work in all areas.  Be sure to check out the AT&T coverage chart before commiting to a purchase.

The neck pendant and wrist button can last longer than five years on one charge; however, for the mobile devices, it’s recommended you charge it at least every 24 hours, just like you would your cell phone.

If you were to lose power inside of your home, the accessory will run on the battery instead of the outlet and cellphone towers.  The backup battery, however, can only power the device for up to 30 hours.
