Emergency Alert Pendants without monthly fees have been available for several years; however, they did not have Fall Detection. Up until recently an emergency pendant with fall detection was only available in devices with monthly fees. Finally there is one available WITHOUT a monthly fee, the Future Call SOS Pendant Phone with Man Down Function!
The SOS Pendant Phone has the following features:
- Fall Down Protection with necklace pendant only. This feature is turned off when device is worn on the wrist.
- Two-way Pendant Communication
- Waterproof with an IP57 Rating which means it is protected from “limited dust” entry and from water “immersion between 15cm and 1 meter in depth”.
- Uses landline and can also be used with a bluetooth adapter as described in this blog post; however, the cell phone does have to be in range of the device to work. Keep this in mind when choosing to go with this feature.
- Stop call feature if accidently pressed
- Range from the base unit-40 meters indoor and 200 meters outdoors.
- Can call up to 3 different SOS numbers
- Standby Time is 3 days and it has a low battery alert
- “User friendly – voice prompts for most operation”
- Has a limited Pill alarm that can be set 4 times a day in 4 hour intervals
- Pendant size: Small size: 2.2″ X 1.5″ X 0.6″; Weight: 2oz
- and of course NO Monthly fee!
We will be ordering one of these soon to try and will post an update on how well it works.
Love the idea. Hope to hear they are working well and durable. Integrity Homecare & Counseling. Glory CEO
