(Q) I want to change my local phone carrier, does that affect my alarm system?

(A) YES. It is ok to change phone carriers, but while the technician is at your home or business, PRIOR TO THE TECHNICIAN LEAVING, put your system on test with Central Station and try to send a test signal through to Central Station. (click here for directions on how to put your system on test)
If Central Station does not receive the test signal, the technician did not hook up the new phone line to the alarm system and needs fix their mistake before leaving your premise.  

Note:  It is VERY IMPORTANT to put your system on test with Central Station PRIOR to testing your alarm.
