Does it work with any cell phone or must it be a Smartphone. If it calls you, can you then listen in and monitor the sounds in the house? Thanks

Obviously this thing needs access to something to send the text. Must be either internet access or cell phone plan itself. But no one has answered what it needs. I don't know either.

I have a smartphone so I can only affirm that it will send your smartphone a text when anything happens with the system. As a far as I have experienced, it does not have a feature that allows you to listen in to sound in the home after the alarm has been triggered. I have other cameras and if the alarm is triggered, I can log on to my other camera system.

It works with phones that can text and receive calls. When call is answered sound is immediately present in earpiece from microphone at console location, so can hear if there is activity.

You need a smartphone. Yes it calls the number you program into the unit to notify you of the alarm going off and the mic picks up noise around it. You can use the unit to call out too just like any phone.

It will text any phone. Yes, you can listen in when it calls you after triggered.

Should work any where there is an active phone outlet. I've had mine for over a year and not had any problems hooking it up anywhere in the house. The Bluetooth feature works great too with a much better range and reception than most devices. It comes with a base that can be mounted to your kitchen should you ever want it there.

For it to call a phone number you do, alarm will still work with out phone line, it just can't call out. Amazon does have wireless phone jacks that plug into power outlet that work pretty good if you have a room with out a phone jack.

I use it in the house for my cell phone. It's an Android, so I presume if I had music loaded , it would play.

No, it will work with just a Bluetooth cell phone or a home phone line either together or seperatly.

Yes this does work with a smartphone, as long as you have the proper sized jack for it to fit in. I tried it and it startled me the sound was so loud and distinct. This is a great pair of headphones for the price! But it is true you would have to switch between the speaker and microphone plugs. My phone only has a jack for one fitting. So for listening to music it would be great.

I know there is an android app that works with the chirp, and would assume iphone has one also. I have used the android app and it works well.

You do not need third party monitoring, you can program the system to call you and several other numbers. You can also arm, disarm, and listen inside the house via the phone. I monitor my own system along with IP cameras.

You hook it up to the device, whatever it is, via the earphone jack. If your phone requires a special type of earphone, it will not work. Conversely, if you can plug any stereo earphone into your phone, this iHome will work fine.

It reproduces any sound you can play on the phone. Music, vdeo streaming sound, etc. I have an IPhone but i think it works with any phone that has Bluetooth.

Ok, device takes some time until it call to the activated number. Put device on a place with some noise and wait a bit. After like 10 minuts it will call to your cell phone, and you will be able to listen what device is catching around it.

In order for it to call out if an alarm is tripped you have to have it connected to a landline. Once it connected though, you can program it to call a cellphone. (I've had a few false alarms and got calls on my cell). Hope this helps!

No - I use an internet based phone called Ooma. This unit will work with any phone (landline, internet). You program the number into the unit and it'll dial that number when/if your home is breached. I'm reading a lot of posts that state this unit cannot call your cell number unless it's a landline. I say this is completely untrue because I do not have a landline and my wireless home security system works just fine with my internet based phone system.

the home phone would need to be bluetooth. this unit, takes bluetooth, and sends it to your pluged in headset. it's best with cell phones, and tablets using BT.

I actually couldn't get it to work with my setup, so I returned it. I was looking to use it by linking to outside wifi at a place that I don't have my own internet service, and I needed to run it from my own service. If I remember right, you had to have software on your computer to use it with, and of course I didn't have that setup there. It may or may not work with cellular if they have an app. I would definitely check that out. Hope this helps a little bit, but I honestly don't know much about it.
