I had my system installed about two years ago and it worked great until I switched to Vonage VOIP Service. I know, bad boy but with family in London a $29 phone bill is much better than $120/month. Brinks has been out here 3 times to try to fix, and it has bounced back and forth between vonage and Brinks. My wife and I are moving in a month or two so not a huge deal, but now I am getting a "CF" error (communication failure) and every morning at 7:12am the things starts beeping incredibly loud and will not stop until cancel is hit. For mornings I want to sleep in... no dice and those I am up early my dogs freak out OR if I have left they get to listen to beeping all day. As I am moving and will have Brinks install at my new home (with a REGULAR line) I have not pressed the issue but when I called to ask them how to turn this off they say it can't be. I do not believe them- my guess is they are afraid I am going to use as a local system but I am still under contract and still paying every month. I dont want to unplug because I do like having alarm on at night... just dont like that CF error waking me up. Any ideas?????
