Common questions in Southampton
Frequently asked questions
Does the pendant work in rural Hampshire and the New Forest area?
Yes. GPS works outdoors everywhere, including rural Hampshire and the New Forest. The 4G coverage is good across Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester, Eastleigh, and Fareham, with signal available in most populated areas.
How quickly can a pendant arrive at a Southampton address?
£1.99 next-day delivery covers all Hampshire postcodes including SO, PO, and surrounding areas. Orders placed before 2pm are dispatched the same day.
Is the pendant easier to use than a mobile phone for emergencies?
Significantly easier. There is no screen to unlock, no number to dial, and no contacts to search. The wearer simply presses one button, and their GPS location is sent to all nominated contacts instantly. Many elderly users who cannot manage a mobile phone use the pendant confidently.
Can this work alongside Hampshire council's telecare services?
Yes. Council telecare pendants in Hampshire typically only work within the home near a base unit. Our pendant provides mobile GPS protection beyond the home — at the shops, in the park, at the doctor's surgery, or anywhere with 4G signal.
Is the pendant comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes. At 43g with a soft lanyard, the pendant is designed for 24/7 wear. It sits flat against the chest and does not catch on clothing. Most users report completely forgetting they are wearing it within the first day.
Can the pendant detect falls automatically?
Yes. Built-in sensors detect the sudden impact and orientation change associated with a fall. An automatic SOS alert with GPS location is sent to all nominated contacts, even if the wearer cannot press the button.
What does the monthly plan include?
The monthly subscription covers the SIM, 4G data, GPS tracking, fall detection alerts, and full companion app access. No setup fees, no hidden charges, no contract. Cancel any time.
Can I wear it in the shower?
Yes. The pendant is shower-safe and we recommend wearing it at all times, including in the shower. Falls are most common in bathrooms, so keeping the pendant on during bathing provides crucial protection.
