Hey All,

I've been a loyal customer with PhoneWatch since 2002 and today there was a power cut in my area. I came home and my alarm system was dead with no lights on the panel. Once the power was restored, my alarm began to arm as if I was leaving the house. I rang up PhoneWatch and was quoted €150 to replace a battery in their equipment which they have never serviced once!! I was appalled by the ridiculous fee and have decided to look elsewhere.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a trustworthy alarm system please?

Thanks

I'm presuming you don't have the new phonewatch system.
On the older systems most good installers would be able to look at this for you. But without a service contract you are probably going to be looking at €100 + anyway.
