> Ask My Buddy Personal Alert ⨁ Network All of us are alone sometimes and we can't always reach our phones or press a button to get assistance. This is why
> 
> everyone needs Ask My Buddy because you can't predict when you'll need help.  If you have fallen, or need help, Ask My Buddy lets you immediately alert
> 
> someone in your Personal Alert Network that you need them to check on you. You may alert just 1 contact or all of your friends or family with just one
> 
> command. Simply say, 'Alexa, Ask My Buddy to alert YourContact' or 'Alexa, Ask My Buddy to alert everyone', and Ask My Buddy will immediately send an alert,
> 
> notifying them to check on you right away. Alerts will be sent by text message / SMS, an email, and even a voice telephone call. Ask My Buddy is not a
> 
> substitute for 911, but rather an additional tool offering the security of knowing help is just a shout away.  If you need any help please send email to
