alarm dialler problem

Wizard

hi guys,
hoping some one out there can help me,
i have a new alarm system,
fitted and working fine with a dialler fitted,
this works from the land line,
it calls me no prob when alarm is triggered but i cannot get it to text me !
the installer could not figure it out either,
i have 2 numbers for sms centre
17409900
0818365135

the dialler gives options of
blind dialling
pulse dialling
pulse after 3
7,e,1 data
and quick text

when i try to send a test text i can hear the dialler call the sms centre and then the line sounds as though its engaged ?
dialler cant communicate with sms centre then and aborts ?
any ideas guys ?
its a texecom speech and text dialler by the way,
if anyone knows then please help !
lol

I am not sure why it needs an SMS centre number. If it sends a text to a mobile number then it goes to your service providers SMS centre.
Maybe try entering O2 & vodafone s numbers

Wizard

hi again,
the dialler sends the text message to the landline provider,
its then transferred from there onto the mobile,
just cant get it to communicate with the sms centre !

KoolKid

Have you checked those numbers with your provider?

Wizard

yep,
can send message from house phone no problem,
just not from dialler

I've had similar problems with text modems from UK manufacturers.
One work around is to use the BT sms centre on 0044795887988. Calls to this work out at about 20c each.

I have a Scopetronic alarm, Ive heard I could get an Autodialer fitted to it, does anybody know where I could get one?

Wizard

thanks jnealon,
will try that tomorrow !
fingers crossed,
i have broadband in the house too,
i dont have a filter fitted to dialler though,
just phone line connected directly to points on the dialler,
would this cause the problem ?
