What makes "Great call 5 star" superior when compared to the MDHI medipendant? It is not monitored by EMT's. It does not have a land line option for brick or block buildings or poor coverage areas. It is not water resistant so it can't be used in or near a bath or shower (one of the most accident prone locations). The unit only has a 1 year limited warranty vs MDHI's lifetime warranty (MDHI sells the monitoring service, not the unit). It does not come with lockbox for emergency services to get past the door without breaking it down.

At what point does "Great call 5 star" become cheaper when compared to the MDHI medipendant? The unit costs $50.00 and the activation fee w $35.00. Yes, the monthly monitoring fee is less at $15.00 which eventually makes the unit less expensive. It takes 9 months to get ahead if you don't get a lockbox. If you get a lockbox, it ads another $40.00 plus S/H for a 4 digit combination lock box so it will take 11+ months to get ahead price wise at which time the limited warranty has almost expired and if anything goes wrong you're back at square one.

So in reality MDHI's product is better, has more options, has more features, is monitored by certified EMT's and costs about the same.

Great call 5 star appears to be a decent product for what it is but it cannot stand up to side by side comparison with MDHI's product. Even the one advantage of cellular coverage no longer applies.
