Common questions in Manchester
Frequently asked questions
Does the pendant GPS work well across Greater Manchester?
Yes. GPS tracking is reliable outdoors across all ten Greater Manchester boroughs, including Manchester city centre, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Oldham, Rochdale, and Bury. The 4G signal coverage is excellent throughout the conurbation.
How fast is delivery to Manchester postcodes?
We offer £1.99 next-day delivery to all Greater Manchester postcodes including M, SK, OL, BL, and WN areas. Orders placed before 2pm are dispatched the same day from our UK warehouse.
My mum has severe arthritis — can she still use this pendant?
Yes. The pendant was designed with arthritic users in mind. The SOS button is large and requires very little pressure to activate. There are no small buttons, screens, or fiddly controls. Many of our Manchester customers specifically chose the pendant over a watch for this reason.
Can the pendant work alongside Manchester council telecare?
Absolutely. Many Manchester residents have a council-provided pendant that only works at home near a base unit. Our SOS Pendant adds mobile protection when the wearer leaves the house — visiting the Trafford Centre, walking in Heaton Park, or attending a clinic in Stockport.
Is the pendant waterproof enough for daily showers?
Yes. The pendant is shower-safe and designed to be worn at all times, including in the shower. Falls are most common in bathrooms, so continuous wear is strongly recommended. Remove it only for swimming or full submersion baths.
What happens when the SOS button is pressed?
When the button is pressed, the pendant immediately captures the wearer's GPS location and sends an emergency alert to all nominated contacts via the companion app. Contacts are notified with the wearer's exact position on a map, allowing them to respond quickly.
Are there any long-term contracts?
No. The monthly plan is rolling with no minimum term and no cancellation fees. You can cancel at any time. The subscription covers the SIM, 4G data, GPS tracking, fall detection alerts, and full app access.
How is the pendant charged?
The pendant charges on a simple magnetic dock. Place it on the dock and it clicks into position — no cables to plug in or ports to find. A full charge takes around two hours and provides up to five days of use. Low-battery alerts are sent to family members automatically.
