SOS! I’m struggling to set up Messaging. There are 2 contacts, with messages sent in regular mode. There’s no way to send another message - no keyboard, emoji, anything! Just a text message the no way to do anything with it. Can anyone help?? Thanks!

Potential users should be aware of their return policy. When the policy is canceled you have 21 days to return everything. If any of the four devices are missing they charge $299 per device. So if you don't get everything returned promptly you are out over $1000. Oh ... and when you cancel they don't bother to tell you what address is to send it to, although you can find it in the manual (if you know where that is). (Ours is getting returned promptly.) Those devices can't cost more than twenty or thirty dollars total to make in China. The return policy seems to be designed to take advantage of grieving families who can't find all the devices.

While the equipment charge ($299 per device) might seem overly high, it's pretty standard for leased medical alert equipment. (Also, the $299 refers to the system as a whole. They won't charge you $1000 for not returning a help button and wrist attachment.) I just returned my system with no issues and received a pro-rated refund for the month.

I have checked all the settings in "Calls" - "All Contacts" is checked however several of the contacts go straight to voicemail every time they call the senior. I have also updated the software and rebooted the iphone 13. any thoughts?

Greyhounds are VERY hyper, and they have claustrophobia issues, so they aren't good for crate training. They NEED to run, so you need to be able to run with them or take them to the dog park daily. Let's be truthful.

Why, why, why, why, WHY, no matter where I go, I can't see what the browser looks like on this phone? Are you hiding something? Doesn't it work? I look on Amazon, I look on Lively, I look here. No. Only the menu, texting, and photos. Is there something wrong with the internet interface?

Years ago, before this feature, I did the following for a Senior using an iPhone: - with their knowledge, I added my phone number as a contact with whom they share their location. If I know where their phone is, they themselves aren’t too far away - Put the iPhone in what I call wiggle mode, where all the icons wiggle. - on the main screen, I swiped every icon to the second, third, fourth, etc screen except two: Phone Contacts - The icons on the very bottom are also swipable into a different screen - My Senior knows to only interact with the main screen, which allows them to only make phone calls to people in their contacts - on the second screen, only those icons that are “the next level of difficulty to use” are present. When I’m with my senior, we interact with those apps until they are very very comfortable with how they work, the gestures, etc - when the senior has demonstrated the ability to use an app, that app is “promoted” to the first screen, second screen, etc Recently, the Photos app has been promoted to the main screen. When visiting my senior, I’ll text photos and videos of interest to that phone, then save them into the Photos app. The Senior isn’t capable of using a keyboard for conversing via text, so I need to move the texting icon off screen one and two This change shown in your video in the new iOS by Apple is a good start, but I’d suggest the following additions: - The only incoming calls that are sent to a Senior-enabled setting are from phone numbers in their contacts. An incoming call from any other phone number triggers two events: 1) the call is sent to voicemail 2) a message is sent to an advocate for the senior. That advocate will additionally be given the ability to retrieve and listen to the voicemail and contact the Senior after the voicemail has been vetted for scam attempts, etc

Is this a joke? Right off the bat, who would put three buttons on one side of a phone intended for seniors? Seriously, that's just the beginning of a long list of things that should have received a little more thought. That is, if this was actually intended to be used by seniors and I'm not convinced it is.

Are you serious or kidding? It is a review and demo video - I think showing how to use the voice feature is helpful to more people than it is a problem. I'm looking at the phone for my elderly parents and found the video very helpful.

Another reason would be your security system, if connected to a landline, can thwart a wifi-jammer, in case of camera feeds or reporting a break-in to a security company without outside interference to the line itself.

I’m not on TikTok; it’s a waste of time. What I do for my mom, even though it might not matter, is add notes to her phone with videos. I hope she’ll start figuring things out. I want to explore the video content and settings to see if it’s a good fit for her. She watches too much TV, especially ‘Family Feud,’ and I’d prefer she spend time on more productive activities.” 😊

We've taught her how to just let Siri make calls and answer them, and the same with text messages. This AA screen will be great for her, but there's no mention on whether Siri will still work in the AA mode. Please say it will!

How does an iWatch user stay monitored while their iWatch is charging for 1 to 1.5 hours? Buy 2 so they always have one on them while the other is charging? Or just hope nothing happens during that short window of time while their device is charging and also hope they remember to put it back on once charged.

That’s a fair point. I’d recommend charging it on a nightstand while sleeping. Depending on your model, you’ll likely want to charge it every day.
