Does this alarm system use cell phone towers or does it just support landline phones? Wifi?

The one I purchased wasn't SIM capable, but this one needs a landline or SIM card. It doesn't look like it can use an Ethernet connection, wired or wireless.There are a number of things I like and dislike about these inexpensive units. damron - damrontech - coooom for more info.

Yes you must plug in a wired phone line either a regular land line from a phone company or a VOIP phone line from a VOIP company to make this alarm call phone numbers. There is no cordless-phone-type feature with this unit.

It works with a landline, but mine is connected to a cell phone. Make sure you buy the cell unit...it allows you to connect directly to a cell tower. This unit is a smart device. You don't need a landline to use it.

It worked great with the GE alarm system. I agree with the others, its not for cell phones.

According to Alarm.com site the other devices they support are Z-Wave so this should work as well. Z-Wave is pretty universal

hello, the system has sensors, that you install where you need them, when you activate the alarm, if anyone tries to enter thru your door or window, the siren goes off , and it is loud enough to scare anyone off, not to mention alert your other neighbors, you can set it up to call your cell phone, or the local police dept, just make sure that you ok it with your police dept, every city has different rules. good luck

Yes but you need it connected to your alarm provider as it doesn't have its own interface to the internet.

Yes, it will work without a telephone line. However, it has no way of messaging you via wireless or cellular. It would be like a car alarm that will alert you.

I have SimpliSafe for our security. Don't need a land line or an internet connection to have the security system operate as it uses a dedicated cell line for any emergency. The Ooma works excellent as a phone carrier - just need the internet for that phone service. ATT or any local carrier isn't really needed.

We use the system with any phone someone has in the house. But you need to plug the phone cord directly into the unit and not into the phone. If you want to use the telephone you must disconnect the alarm and replug into the phone. This is a very good alarm unit but some people do have problems setting it up. Once you figure it out you can call you home from any location and receive information about the temperature in the house, and power.

It connects to landline. You could use majic jack or similar product if you have wi fi available. Otherwise you're better off spending the extra to get a system that uses cellular dialer, althoigh then you get charged a monthly fee for service.

The alarm has to be conected to a landline in order to receibe or send phone calls when it fires or you want to activate away from home.

The base system is used with a landline, but the company web site says you may buy a Bluetooth adapter to work will a cell phone

The system will not call out without a landline. The rest of the system will still function, but it won't call you (or anyone else).

One you can connect up to three cell phones,the other three cell phone and a land line. Also I use to be a snowbird from Massachusetts to Florida. I used my Xlink with my freeze alarm. Worked great. I never got an alarm because there was no issues,but I use to be able to call up and find out the temp in the house and so on.

I believe you can get a cell adaptor so you can use cellphone. Without that, I think its land line only.
