Emergency Button?

[question everything]

Any one has it, or knows someone who does?

What type? How does it work?

Can one choose any call enter?

Is there a "subscription?"

Cost?

I don't know the first thing about it but may need it for a relative.

Thanks

1. I used Life Alert for my mom

They did a good job…were on top of any accidental button pushing, etc. best price and loaned equipment, we didn’t have to buy… and it connected to our home phone. It can dispatch medical help and call you at the same time, or you set up action as it suits your circumstances.

Good luck!

3. iPhone and probably Andriods can use voice command to call 911 for emergencies.

"Hey Siri, call 911 (or "call ----&quot .

If they are in a location that is near the cell phone, they can just use voice activation. Or even the Amazon voice activated unit, Alexa.

5. It certainly does! I was just repeating this to my spouse and... the next thing it did

I apologizes said was a mistake and hung up.

They immediately called back wanting to know whether I was OK.

So now we now that the phone is listening.

4. iPhone 14's can make emergency calls via satellite.

No cellular or Wi-Fi needed.

This would have saved the lives of a family who made emergency calls with no cellular service available.

6. I can think of 2 occasions in my neighborhood where

a person fell down.

Loneliness was a key problem. They chose privacy as their strategy.
