Ive that phone watch thing here too. I did it myself.

I beleve I was lucky becuase the alarm was connected to an indoor junction box so there was no messy rewiring. Your Milage may vary.

Firstly as far as esat is concerned you DONT have an alarm!! They will not touch you if you do. secondly do NOT get an engineer. I just installed IOL yesterday and we have phonewatch. Just use the filters and your fine.. at worst your BB gets disconnected when the alarm goes off but it just connects again when the line is free.. that might not even happen.

Order it, fit it and only IF you have problems then do you try sort it out and do it through phonewatch. Get them out to wire it so it will work but there should be no need. I dont know od anyone with both who has had a problem.
