5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding, December 19, 2009
This review is from: Geemarc Ampli600 Amplified Emergency Connect Phone (Health and Beauty)
I bought the Clarity P300 phone for $38.99 and after 11 weeks it broke and I toss it in the trash, I figured you get what you pay for. So I bought this phone and Wow! Loud ring with flashing light, easy programable keys for six family/friends numbers. Three programable keys for emergency numbers (e.g. 911, doctor, hospital/doctor). Now the best a SOS key where you can program up to six numbers to be automatically called in case of an emergency with two small remote activators that you can wear on your wrist like a watch or around your neck. Press the RED SOS button on the phone or the remote device activator and the phone automatically calls the first emergency number and when the person answers it plays your pre-recorded message (e.g. "Bill this is Dad I'm in trouble get over here right away."). Then Bill can press any number key on his phone and that will automatically activate the speaker phone option on this phone so you can talk with Bill if you are close enough to the phone, like in the same room or a close other room. If the first programmed emergency number does not answer the phone will automatically then call the 2, 3, 4, 5,or 6 programmed emergency number until someone answers. This is AC powered and DC with four "AAA" battery back up if power is lost. Adjustable ring volume and adjustable hearing volume for us hard of hearing people. Yep this is a little expensive but well worth it and you get what you pay for......BUY IT, you will not be disapopointed! Thank you geemarc, great product!

Good Emergency Phone for the money, January 7, 2012
This review is from: Geemarc Ampli600 Amplified Emergency Connect Phone (Health and Beauty)
I bought this phone for my mother-in-law who's about 75 and has had a few events in the last few years that have left her at home on the floor looking for help. Aside from these relatively rare events she's as fit and active as someone half her age, but the family has been increasingly worried. We looked at emergency medical alert services but they are relatively expensive for someone on a fixed income. As an alternative this phone fit the bill as it cost what 2 or 3 months of one of these aforementioned services would have cost. It works very well with the remote transmitters that are about the size of a thick silver dollar that can be worn as a pendant or watch. They set off the phone from anywhere in her house and large yard without a hitch. It's relatively easy to program and operate. I just got it set up yesterday and tested it out with the six family members who are on the phone's call list and it worked perfectly. So much so and so easily so that my mother in law called this morning to tell us she moved the phone into her bedroom from the den and was wearing one of the remotes. My only negative that the manufacturer might consider altering is the amount of time it spends on each call before cycling to the next. Currently it's only 30 seconds which is a little on the short side. It'd be nice if that time was programmable or at least set to a longer value. I think 45 seconds would be much better. Other then that I'm pleased with what I received and how it's operating so far.

terrible voice quality. should have returned it., June 14, 2011
This review is from: Geemarc Ampli600 Amplified Emergency Connect Phone (Health and Beauty)
Got the phone for my father and mother. Wish we had kept the boxes so we could return it. People on the other end say it sounds very muffled. On this end, there are adjustment to increase the volume. Too loud and you get feedback squeal. Terrible quality. My father has internet over the phone line. Apparently this phone disconnects his internet connection when he is on line. Dad has disconnected the phone and internet works fine. Wish we had returned the phone after making the mistake of ordering it. Just a heads up to others. If sound quality not important and you don't have internet over phone, this might be good choice for you.
