Life Alert offers both cellular and landline in-home medical alert systems, and cellular powers our On-the-Go GPS device for protection away from home. Landline systems remain a trusted choice for those in areas with limited cellular reception — and many Life Alert members prefer them for exactly that reason. All packages include Life Alert's proprietary Advanced UL-Listed equipment and 24/7 monitoring through our own US-based Emergency Dispatch Centers.

Life Alert offers three layers of protection that work together. The Micro Voice Pendant keeps you covered throughout your home. The HELP Button adds protection in any room you choose — particularly the bathroom and shower, where emergencies most often happen — and installs easily without any tools. The Help On-the-Go GPS device goes with you wherever you need it.

What people are saying for this product

I was in my car preparing to exit from the garage. I experienced a muscular spasm in my left hip causing any further movement to be extremely painful. I activated the [Life Alert] GPS unit. The responding staffer contacted the local EMTs. She was calming and kept me informed as to when they would arrive.

My mom was having trouble breathing during the night, so we pushed her Life Alert button. Life Alert just took over and handled everything like a well-oiled machine. Every single person that I have encountered whether it be an emergency situation, a button pushed by mistake, or us testing the equipment, has been amazing! We can’t thank you enough for all you do.
