Customer Service operative very helpful and made ordering quick and easy, now awaiting our unit, so my mum can remain in her own home, giving us confidence someone is there should she need them.

So far the service is excellent, the equipment was easy to set up with very clear and simple to follow instructions, the testing process is good, going through several step to test range etc. My daughter is able to leave me alone, knowing if I get into any bother, I can press the button on my wrist and she can be contacted quickly. The call centre all seem very nice, efficient and friendly and know my name when the button is pressed and they respond.
