Before deciding which option suites your needs best, calculate the number of messages (alerts) you will be receiving monthly. Average number of monthly messages = number of daily intake occasions x 30 days. |
|
|
| For example, Mary takes daily one Vitamin C capsule once a day, and one Fish Oil capsule 2 times per day. She also takes Lipitor, for high cholesterol, one pill one time per day. In total Mary has 4 intake occasions daily times 30 days resulting in 120 messages per month. |
| |
| If Mary didn't subscribe to any of the plans, she would be charged 120 messages at $0.05 per message totaling $6.00 per month (option 4). Mary would be better of signing up for "200 Messages" plan for $4.99 per month which would offer her 200 messages per month (option 2). |
