Betsy gives Mom about ten minutes a day where AllsWell’s site describes a 2-minute conversation, so there is time for the drive to Reno and for what happened next. She remembers every conversation, and you hear the same day about a fall, an illness or someone after her money. $2 a day, billed $60 a month.

Pick Betsy if…
- You want a call long enough for a story, with Mom doing most of the talking.
- You want each call to start where the last one ended, so the blue bowl can take all week.
- You want the same voice from the same local number, forever, saved in her phone as Betsy.
- You want her to talk freely. What she says stays hers, except a fall, an illness or someone after her money, which you hear the same day.
- You’d like one story on Sunday that gives you something to ask her.
What fits in ten minutes that doesn’t fit in two?
The rest of the story. Ten minutes a day is about seventy minutes a week. Betsy asks what Mom did, not how she feels: “Were you lost?”, not “How did that make you feel?” Not every turn is a question. She says “huh” and “wait, back up,” and then she gets out of the way. A call sounds like this.
Hi Margaret. You were going to tell me where the blue bowl came from.
My sister Jean. She walked out of the church rummage sale with it under her coat.
Under her coat. At church.
She left a quarter in the collection plate the next Sunday, so she says it’s paid for.
Did you know at the time?
I held the door.
Oh, that’s wonderful. Same time tomorrow?
Same time tomorrow.
Two minutes gets you to the rummage sale. Ten gets you to who held the door. And when a fall or someone after her money comes up in the middle of something else, you hear the same day, in her own words.
Betsy talks about a third of the time. The rest is hers.
Ten minutes is also easy to say yes to every day. If she has her hair at two, she goes, and the story keeps until tomorrow. If she wants to keep going, she can call back at the same number any time, and Betsy knows who it is.
What does each minute cost?
Less with Betsy. These are our sums from the published numbers, on a thirty-day month.
| Betsy | AllsWell at $19 a month | |
|---|---|---|
| Calls in a month | Thirty | Thirty |
| Minutes in a month | About 300 | About 60 |
| Cost per minute | About 20 cents | About 32 cents |
On AllsWell’s yearly plan, $190 for about 730 minutes comes to about 26 cents. And Betsy’s price is the whole list: $2 a day, billed $60 a month, with the memory, her own calls at any hour and the Sunday text inside it. There is one plan, so every mother gets the same voice, the same memory and the same ten minutes. How long a Betsy call lasts has more on the ten minutes. AloneAssist and Senior Call are two more calls from a computer voice, each with its own page here. What Betsy is has the whole picture.

Questions people ask
What makes Betsy different from AllsWell?
About ten minutes a day where AllsWell’s site describes about two, so there is time for a whole story. Betsy remembers every conversation, and the same voice calls from the same local number, forever.
Does Betsy work on a landline?
Yes. Any phone that rings works, including a landline or a flip phone. There is nothing to install, charge or learn.
Does Betsy remember what Mom told her?
Yes, every conversation. Each call starts where the last one ended, so a story can take all week.
Will Betsy ever ask for money?
Never, not for anything. She says so on the first call. If a caller claiming to be Betsy asks for money, it is not Betsy.
