Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost
VM's battery backup sim solution only allows 999 calls. Lifeline kit doesn't call 999, it usually calls a contact centre who will use the lifeline box to check the user is okay (they have speakers/mics on them) and then either contact relatives, neighbours or the emergency services. It's not just falls they cover either, some do health monitoring and all sorts of critical care monitoring.
If you need it, you need it. No concern trolling required.
Really simple way for VM to fix this is to just get rid of the 999 only restriction but monitor the SIMs for abuse. With letters before disconnecting the damned things, thank you very much.
