Looking for a no monthly fee Medical Alert System. The kind that you can program to call whoever you want. Like family cell phones.
Something like this

For the last year we used a cordless phone system that worked well but only lasted a year and looks to be no longer made. Had a pendent you could push a button and dial for help.

Looking for recommendations. I going to need to get this replaced as quick as possible.

What's wrong with the one you linked to? Looks like it's what you're asking for.

The item in the link, one can only speak through the base unit unlike others where you can speak through the pendent that is worn around the neck.
Not much help if the base unit is in the bedroom and you fall in the kitchen,

Just looking for opinions from people that has been down this road.

FYI- I was able to fix the old pendent. The on off switch had dirt/ dust under it.

Speaking from experience, get a Phillips LifeLine that senses a fall. FIL had one, and by time we could get to his house, First Responders were there. Teller at bank had an aunt who fell and couldn't push button. Lost a leg due to lack of circulation. Had she had the one that senses fall, help would have been on the way. Don't forget to get an out side lock box for door key, or first responders are REQUIRED to bash door in. Then you have TWO problems.
