WHAT MEDICAL ALERT DEVICES DOES LIFEFONE OFFER?

In-home landline - LifeFone offers a new and up to date in-home medical alert system model, which connects to the emergency response monitoring center via a landline. It comes with an excellent industry leading range of 1,300 feet between the base station and the help button worn on your wrist or neck. Fall detection is optional.

• It's ideal for people who only need protection in their home, don't leave their home often, or leave their home accompanied by others.

In-home cellular - This system is identical to the in-home landline system, except that it connects to the emergency response monitoring center via a cellular signal. It also comes with an industry leading range of 1,300 feet between the base station and the help button. Fall detection is optional.

• It's ideal for people who don't have a landline, only need protection in their home, don't leave their home often, or leave their home accompanied by others.

In-home & on-the-go GPS - This is a two in one offering of both an in-home system and a mobile device, protecting you in and outside the home. The offering allows you wear the in-home device, while recharging your mobile unit.

• It's ideal for people who want protection inside and outside their homes and who don't have great cellular reception in their homes. Of note, the mobile unit requires you to carry two devices - it's an older model.

In-home & on-the-go GPS & voice-in pendant (option 1) - The new VIP Active is LifeFone's latest all-in-one pendent, that has the help button, 2 way voice communication, GPS and optional fall detection. It lasts for a long 5 days on one battery charge.

• It's ideal for those who want protection in and outside their home, are active, want family members to know where they are and want a lightweight small design.

In-home & on-the-go GPS & voice-in pendant (option 2) - The VIPx is LifeFone's all-in-one pendent, that has the help button, 2 way voice communication, GPS and optional fall detection and optional caregiver application. It lasts for an extremely long 16 days on one battery charge.

• It's ideal for those who want protection in and outside their home, are active, may want family to know where they at any given moment with GPS. The caregiver app is also great for those looking to keep track of a loved one.

In-home & on-the-go smartwatch - The Smartwatch Active has an emergency button with a personalized emergency care plan, GPS location services and tracking, optional fall detection, two way voice communication, all day battery life for up to 24 hours and a host of other options like heart rate monitoring and step count.

• It's ideal for those who are active and want a more aesthetic option. We're a little hesitant to recommend smartwatches for emergency situations to everyone, as finding the help button when frazzled can be a little more difficult. Also, the size of the smartwatch face is a little large and bulky, especially on a women's wrist. If you're looking for a mobile option, we'd probably recommend the all in one, on-the-go, voice in VIPx pendent.

HOW GOOD IS LIFEFONE'S MONITORING?

In the end, most medical alert companies (not all) have similar equipment. What really separates one company from the next is the quality of its monitoring service.

LifeFone owns its own 24X7 monitoring center located in White Plaines, New York. However, its monitoring center is not UL certified and its monitoring agents are not 5 Diamond certified. That said, we have never heard any complaints regarding its monitoring agents or response times. In fact, quite the opposite. In our experience and testing, their agents have been courteous, professional and informed.

HOW GOOD IS LIFEFONE'S CUSTOMER SERVICE?

Lifefone puts its money where its mouth is with lifetime lifetime warranties, price guarantees & free cancellations. It should give you a lot of confidence that they'll do what they say - otherwise, they're the ones who'll pay.

LIFEFONE vs. PHILIPS LIFELINE vs. LIFE ALERT

Feel like you know enough about LifeFone? Let's compare it to two of the biggest medical alert system competitors in the industry: Lifeline and Life Alert.

SHOULD YOU GET A LIFEFONE MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEM?

Yes, we highly recommend LifeFone. LifeFone uses the exact same equipment as many of the larger players like MobileHelp and Medical Guardian, with similar pricing. However, they have extremely friendly customer terms like a 30 day money back guarantee and free cancellation with prorated refunds for unused portions of contracts - there's no risk in trying with LifeFone.

Moreover, unlike many other medical alert companies, they offer a host of caregiver services like activity checks, check-up calls and medication reminders, which you may not need now, but may find helpful for your parents down the line. Lastly, their customer service is excellent, both on and off line.
