Our team of Secret Shoppers gave MobileHelp high marks for both their Customer Care Team and Free Downloadable brochure. MobileHelp’s customer care reps described as prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable while their brochure was noted to be the “most complete” amongst all providers.

Their customer care team answered every question we threw at them with patience and thoroughness.

Equipment & Setup9.8/10
All of MobileHelp’s equipment is FDA-compliant, – something that distinguishes MobileHelp from others in the industry. In simple terms – MobileHelp does not purchase their equipment and simply place their logo on the systems, they have a research and development team dedicated to creating and delivering the best equipment in the industry. In addition, MobileHelp’s equipment is consistently rated as most attractive and easy-to-use equipment in the industry. MobileHelp’s systems feature a clear button-control layout, quality finish, and stylish wearables.
MobileHelp offers three outstanding systems:
- The MobileHelp Classic: The Classic’s base station uses a cellular signal (no landline required) and displays date, time, and temperature. The system has a 600-foot range and includes two remote help-buttons.
- The MobileHelp Solo: This is MobileHelp’s most affordable option. The Solo comes with a powerful and portable GPS base unit, with an emergency button and two remote help-buttons (sporty wrist unit or an attractive neck pendant).
- The MobileHelp Duo: Includes both the Classic and Solo equipment. It’s MobileHelp’s most comprehensive medical alert system.
Fall detection
Falls can bring serious complications. MobileHelp offers fall detection as an option on all of their systems. This is a trend that the leaders are adopting: offering fall detection on all systems. If you’re not sure if you need it, just choose the system you want and you can always add that service at a later time.
All-cellular service
Most medical alert systems companies offer cellular and landline options; MobileHelp is pushing the envelope by going cellular only. With a cellular connection, you get an all-digital system, and you can take it with you when you travel away from home.
Easy instructions
MobileHelp offers simple instructions to guide you through the setup process. Although, it’s really just a matter of plugging in the base station and/or GPS charging cradle and you’re all set. The helpful user guides also include tips on the best places in your home to position your base station.
Important reminder
Your MobileHelp system setup is not complete until you call in and test your system to ensure it’s working accordingly.
Cost & Value9.7/10
MobileHelp doesn’t lock you into a contract. The company’s annual plan is the best deal, compared to their monthly plans. Our Secret Shoppers found the price of MobileHelp not only competitive but in many instances beating the competition. Our advice: take advantage of the FREE Lock Box offer and sign-up for an annual plan for the best value.
~ PRICING ALERT – APRIL 12 ~
InHomeSafetyGuide publishes all provider’s pricing charts via an automated data pull; however, with MobileHelp’s Low Pricing Initiatives underway, we recommend contacting them direct as all systems & plans are on sale
Fall detection costs an additional $10 per month. MobileHelp’s technology is some of the best in the industry, and we think it’s well worth an extra $10 per month.
MobileHelp has free shipping on plans beyond the monthly plan. The monthly plan is their costliest choice. Therefore, we recommend avoiding the monthly plan if possible.
Medication reminders are free, and you may even be able to get a couple of free extras, such as a lockbox if you mention InHomeSafetyGuide.
