How to Cancel Life Alert
Skycopia rates Life Alert as hard to cancel, and you'll have to call. Expect hold time and at least one discount offer before anyone will process it.
Cancellation line: 1-800-990-0595
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if Life Alert bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.

Cancellation steps
- 1
Call the number above — Life Alert has no online self-cancel option
- 2
Give the account holder's name and the address/unit number on file (found on billing paperwork or the original packaging)
- 3
If a family member is cancelling on someone else's behalf, have Power of Attorney documentation ready — or send a signed cancellation letter by mail/fax instead of calling
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, with the right page open beside this one — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.
