I know you get monitored personal alarms often installed for vulnerable/elderly people i.e. they wear a button around their neck or carry in their pocket and if they get into difficulty they press the button and this alerts a central monitoring station. These solutions usually have an initial setup charge and then a monthly charge thereafter.
I was wondering if there's a solution similar to the above i.e. button worn by the vulnerable/elderly person, however when they press it, it simply sends a text message to designated family/friends i.e. no central monitoring station and no monthly charge.
I've had a Google but can only see solutions that link to a central station and carry a monthly charge. Does anyone know if the option I'm looking for exists?
