Phones Update
I have located a replacement for the medical alert system. The 5Star is a small, cellular device that amounts to a single number cell phone with GPS tracking. They only charge $15/month for the monitoring service which is one third of what my Mother was paying for the landline system. The GPS locator is used to direct assistance to your location. It isn’t a full-featured cell phone, like the Snapfon, but it works in this area.
The Consumer Cellular system will also work, if The Phone Company ever gives up my Mother’s telephone number. That’s all I’m waiting for on that front.
The extra handset for her wireless system arrived, and getting it recognized by the base was not the simple procedure that the included manual indicated it would be. I finally worked it out after a visit to the Panasonic web site. It really is a great system, but there are so many options that it is difficult to figure out how to do things.
