:Well, i was thinking of canceling my home telephone all together, since all we use is our cellphones anyway and have no use for a home phone, and getting a dry line dsl connection from speakeasy, but then realized that i need a phone line for my security system.
I dont know if its possible, but if any of you guys know, will my security system be able to work (dial out if alarm goes off) using a voip service?
Im gonna call the alarm compnay and find out, but thought i'd post here to get some other ideas as well as info from people who ran into the same roadblock.
>>also, what is the CHEAPEST rate available for voip if it is possible (its going to be used mainly/only for security system), cheapest i found so far was $9.95/month
The cheapest phone plan for me w/ my phone company (atlanta, ga) is about $25/month, but with all the taxes and charges, goes to about $32/35
Thanks
You should check with your alarm monitoring company to see if they have an adapter or possibly a different unit that could plug directly into your router or switch using IP to communicate with the alarm co. Then you wouldn't need Voip company at all.. Good luck!
