Alarm SIM Question

    Hi... I have a Visonic Powermaster alarm panel with a GSM card. The SIM installed in it is from Three and it seems that with its current plan, I need to top up by €20 every month in order to use SMS messaging.

    Is anyone aware of a more cost effective SIM plan that I can use for SMS messaging only?


    Many Thanks.

    Is that a 4 week deal so you get messages, data and calls?

    If so would you be better off just paying for the text messages than a bundle deal?

    Id ring three and see what they can do for you.

    OK - Seems I have it sorted now....

    According to Three, if you have a pay-as-you-go SIM and add €20 of credit, the system will automatically activate one of their "monthly plans". At the end of 28 days, the plan will cease and the credit will not be on your account. This is an automatic process and you can't opt out.

    The trick is... Add less than €20 of credit (perhaps €10 to be safe). When you do this, the automatic plan does not activate and you are left with the credit on your account which is depleted as you use it.
