I was very excited to try out the V.ALRT. My husband works long hours so most of the time it's just Aiden and I doing whatever it is we have to do. I am always very cautious when we are out and make sure my doors are locked...you can never be too careful! The V.ALRT came at the perfect time. Aiden and I were going out of town to a college baseball game. He was so excited and I was excited to have the V.ALRT to take with us. I had never been on this huge college campus and had no idea where we were going. I had that the V.ALRT on the whole time and it gave me that extra feeling of security.
I read all the instructions and tested it out before actually leaving town with it. I have an Iphone and the app is free in the app store. Once I got that on my phone, I followed the instructions on how to set up the V.ALRT. It was very easy. I chose my 3 emergency contacts...my husband, my parents and a very close friend. I let my parents and my friend know what I was doing and that they would be receiving a test text. I was not able to reach my husband at that moment. I pressed the V.ALRT button. My husband called me within 1 minute to ask what was going on because he had just received a text saying I needed help. I was very impressed with the text that they received. My friend sent me the screen shot but I didn't post it here because it lists my personal information. It showed that it was me, that I needed assistance and showed a map of my exact location. Thankfully, the day at the baseball game was great with no worries but I was glad to have the V.ALRT...just in case! I also wore it last week at the beach. Even though we were with my parents, Aiden and I did go to the park and grocery store a couple of times by ourselves and I made sure it was on my arm. I will continue to wear the V.ALRT because you can never be too careful!
I was very excited to see this package on my front porch!!
V.ALRT comes in a nice box with lots of info on the outside.
Nice and secure inside the box.
The V.ALRT button pops right into the bracelet.
I think it is stylish enough to wear everyday!
