I don't think this is VM's problem to solve. Maybe the monitoring device should connect to the users mobile via bluetooth, or have it's own sim card.

Hell phones have accelerometers and speakerphones. This could be an app. I'm pretty sure there *is* an app that does this sort of thing.

This "lifeline box" - https://www.lifeline24.co.uk/lifelin...larm-unit-box/ is literally a commercial service provided at significant cost. Maybe if the services their product depends on are dying out they should consider a 4g version, rather than insisting other companies - and their customers - subsidise them.

They also don't actually state who they are on their website. I think this is the legal entity - https://find-and-update.company-info...mpany/08718610 but their legal name, "LIFELINE24 LIMITED", and company number, seem to be nowhere on their website. Seems a bit dodgy to me, as that's illegal. Edit: it's on the terms page, but not the about us or contact us pages.

Another edit, the manufactuer of these devices makes a 4g VOIP version. Solved problem.
