Home medical alert systems?

Last edited Sun Jan 20, 2019, 03:38 PM - Edit history (1)

I'm thinking I should buy one as I had a bad fall recently, and a few in the past.
Any suggestions or recommendations ?
I do not have a 'landline'. I have Conumser Cellular on my android phone and wifi.

Thanks

They have automated dialer's, and that have a wearable button to use to activate it , and call in case of an emergency, and much , much cheaper than services that are advertised to use for that. We got my father in law one , and me one and I've luckily never had to use it . I think we found them on Amazon , and no monthly fees. Hope that helps.
