After careful consideration we are very pleased with ActiveCare and feel that our business relationship will indeed be a long term and successful venture. We are very excited at the prospect of combining our vast marketing organizations that provides highly rated insurance and financial products along side ActiveCare’s mobile safety product. We believe this to be a win-win opportunity for both our organizations!”

The handset has one-button service where, when activated, a live operator greets each caller by name, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
