I recently set off my system (Brinks) and found out I wasnt even monitored!! Nobody told me that the internet phone things WILL NOT WORK with alarm systems. My coworker recommended Smith THompson and their slick cell Uplink thing. Really a good thing. Total cost was about $ 89 to totall swap out my old Brinks panel (took about an hour) Brian, my technician was very friendly and got me checked out on the system no problem. I would totally recommend this thing for anybody whether you have a 'real' phone line or not. Plus Brian showed my the box on the side of my house where the intruder can just cut the line anyway? What good is that?? Beware, if you have switched phone deals, your alarm may not work! Don't say I didnt warn you. Call em.
Pros: Get to keep my cheap phone service
Cons: just cost a little ($ 89) to get upgraded, worth it though
