I am interested in a way to feel secure. I live alone, travel, socialize outside of my home and intermingle with others. I have an security system in the home, GPS in my vehicle, but need to feel secure when I don’t have access to either. What do you suggest ? Oh, and I do carry my cell phone.

Comment on What is a no-monthly fee medical alert system? by Joe

Thanks for your comment, George. You've identified a great reason to choose a monitored medical alert instead of a no-fee alert. In your situation, it makes a lot of sense to have a monitoring center that can respond even if you and your family members are not available.I went to the website you bought from, and I'll be honest and say I found the "special price for only 2 more days" a little off-putting. There's a more affordable plan to be had from Bay Alarm Medical using pretty much the same equipment, and if people are interested in better equipment, they should look into Medipendant because they have a system where you can talk through the pendant instead of talking through a base station speakerphone.

We looked at both no fee and with fee medical alert systems. Since several family members travel, we might miss a call from a non operator based unit, so we opted to go with one with someone around to answer the phone. The cheapest one we found online is medicalalertdiscount.com.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Your example of why the talk-through pendant is such a good idea is right on.

Thanks to all your helpful information, I recently purchased the LogicMark Freedom Alert from a seller on Ebay. I got it new for $250.00 and it was worth every penny, as I now feel so much safer, knowing I can get help when I fall. I love the ability to talk through the pendant, since I don’t have a very loud voice and wouldn’t be heard if I was in the other room. It has a great range and I can even talk from outside.

That’s really true. It is really a progress. The use of lifeline systems not only for old people, but also for young is good idea. Keep up with the good idea.

Comment on Why I like the MediPendant by Joe

I just called the company. Yes, it’s the same product. They’ve set up “Medipendant Plus” to track response to their television ad. Likewise, the different phone numbers all go to the same place, but they let the company know how the call originated. For example, the phone number listed on this page identifies the call as coming from someone who found out about the Medipendant on this site. I’ve only heard good things about the Medipendant. Let me know if you have more questions!

Are MediPendant and Medipendant Plus the same thing? They have different but similar-looking websites and different phone numbers (also different from the number listed on your page). What company is best to order this system from? Have you had good or bad reviews about this system? Thanks for your help.
