Freedom Alert Review
Freedom Alert 911 Review
Unfortunately the initial base unit of the Freedom Alert 911 I received was not operating, but a call to the Tech support line was answered promptly by a live person who quickly diagnosed the problem and immediately put a new base unit in the mail to me at no cost. Freedom Alert 911 gives you EXCELLENT PRODUCT SUPPORT! The replacement base worked perfectly and my testing of the range of the phone to the base was excellent.
I purchased the Freedom Alert system for my 80 year old mom who is losing her sight and hard of hearing. She needed an emergency response system and had been receiving numerous calls from services that wanted to sign her up for an alert service with a call center (who knows where) that would then call 911 if needed. All of these services had monthly fees and an initial cost that all totaled seemed financially draining. They also had contracts that locked you into their program with no clause to opt out if you didn’t like their service. The Freedom Alert 911 has a single purchase price and you’re done!
Once I set up the unit in my mom’s house I walked around her yard outside and used the test button to check status. I got excellent coverage everywhere in her yard and beyond (over 200′). I also checked her basement and got good coverage there as well. So everywhere she may decide to go she now has peace of mind that pressing one button will put her in touch directly with the local 911 operator or a friend or family member. I had her test the actual button to call the 911 operator to make absolutely sure she would be able to communicate successfully, again her hearing is not good, but the volume level was perfect and she told the 911 operator that there was no emergency, just testing her new Freedom Alert system. The operator asked for her street address which she provided and the operator told her that was what was on her screen. Perfect! Now mom knows what to expect when she may need to press the button.
It’s really all about peace of mind, and this unit delivers that and may someday save her life. Freedom Alert 911 is a very cost effective solution.
