Burglar alarm dialler

    I want to disconnect my landline and use mobile broadband for Internet access and a mobile phone for calls.

    The burglar alarm system has an automatic dialler, activated when the alarm is triggered, which calls a preset list of numbers in rotation until it's acknowledged.

    Can the dialler be changed to a mobile sim one or similar? If so, how would it work and how much would it likely cost?

    Thanks in advance

    You can fit a generic GSM voice or text dialler to any system with a bell output.

    It would vary a lot from €70-€80 up.

    Just had a quote from a local company: Text GSM €330 / Voice GSM €430

    It's not going to be viable at these prices. Do you know a company who would supply & fit for the figure you mentioned KoolKid?

    The price I quoted is for a basic generic unit only.
    You would pay more than that for supply and installation.
    The prices you are listing may be manufacturer specific. They are more expensive and have more functions.
