Question: do you need a land line for the phone or will it dial a cell phone number?
Document: 2) When alarm is tripped, you cannot dial out on land line ( 911 etc. ) because the system is dialing out to stored number. Suggest call 911 on cell, ( I do not have mine programmed to dial out to police ) 3) I recently discovered that when my system trips (testing etc. ) it opens my neighbors garage door. Definetly gotta work on that tomorrow. PS: EVERYTHING IN THIS REVIEW IS AUTHENTIC FROM EDMONDS, WA.
These new land-line replacement systems do give dial-tone when you go off-hook with your &#34;normal&#34; phone that you plug into the wireless box. But even the advertisement from the wireless companies say it will not work with alarm systems or satellite boxes. I'm wondering if they're saying this just to cover themselves as the land-line phone is still more reliable than wireless?
I tell you. very easy to install. Only think you have to program is the phone number you want it to call. I previously ordered  skylink 100 but it did not have a dialer. Well if someone breaks in when you are not home you want the alarm to dial out. Plus, with this alarm you get two sensors and five door window sensors
But we have a real phone line, so it works for us. If they added cell also it would be practically perfect.basically I love this thing. I love the fact that it solves so many MORE problems than just security. Like the my phone is out problem.
I wonder, however, if it will work with the new wireless home phone systems that Verizon Wireless and AT&T; are selling ($20 per month unlimited calling) that your normal phone plugs into (corded or cordless). They give a dial-tone, which is what kept home alarm systems (and satellite boxes) from working with cell phones as they do NOT give a dial-tone.
48 hours later I had it installed and working. I had one question and when I called he answered quickly and gave me the info I needed. It's only been a couple of days but there have been no false alarms and everything works as advertised. A nice touch is that the sensors are pre-programmed and tested so it's virtually a plug and play system only requiring that you enter a phone number for the dial out. Of course you can make other changes but you don't have to.
Easy to record an outgoing message and will dial several phone numbers. Easy to program. And, should you need extra door or motion detectors, they can be purchased here at Amazon. One word of caution. We decided not to use the motion detectors as they are extremely sensitive. Our central heating & cooling unit makes the blinds flutter and even this small amount of motion will be picked up.
I had problems because the users guide was not up to date but got immediate and excellent support and my alarm was working as expected ... until I found that I could not dial the numbers 3, 6 and 9 when the alarm was connected to the phone line. When disconnected, I could dial the numbers. I tried 3 different phones and all showed the same problem.I asked for support  but got no answer. Fortunately I could solve the problem by myself.
I was in need of a simple alarm system that I could install myself, and not have to pay some ridiculous monthly fee to a monitoring company. This alarm filled my needs. All the sensors were already preprogrammed, so all I had to do was mount them, then mount the main control unit, turn it on, and after programming my phone number into it, which was also very easy, I then plugged in the siren, and tested it.
Great product, easy to install, the call alert function is great but should call a cell phone too . The only drawback is that I've had very little lasting batteries.
Answer: ACTUALLY, NO! You could use VoIP instead of a landline. Get an OBI box, compatible with Google Voice (create an account and get a phone number in your area code) and connect to your phone and then to your router. Turns a landline phone into a VoIP phone and uses your ethernet router to place calls.  No landline required.
