Brinks

Here's one for 27.99 + ship Any good?

Yeah.

. You're on your own if that's what you're gonna do.

Why don't you follow Jim's suggestion and just get a new KP and panel and let an independent company monitor it?

There are also companies like this all over (I don't know anything about these guys):

LOL! Hey, I'm just thinking out loud here. I might go with a lower cost monitoring service. $8.95 looks a LOT better than $30.24/mo PLUS the $50/year I pay for the permit from the friendly local PD. (Don't forget... I'm 68.... Fixed income and all... Economy... Etc.)

I'm fixing to call Brinks in a few min and see what they say about pulling the plug. If they say OK, then I'm off to Ebay to get my OWN system. You guys have been a big help.

Good luck with dealing with Brinks. With their attrition rate being as high as it is now, don't be surprised if all of the sudden you mysteriously qualify for a monitoring discount...but only if you sign up for another 3 years... ;)

Your right about most of us being guys.

But ....We're not too sure about Frank ........... though.

He does a lot a business but it's rumored that he works behind a counter and wears a tube top, mini skirt and high leather spike heel boots with mesh stockings.

OH GAWD! ............. MY EYES >>>> MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You got that right. I talked to them this morning and they said I was on a year-to-year contract. It expires on July 7th. I told them I wanted to let it expire. They tried what you said. Offered me 15 dollars a month if I signed up. I told them no, they asked why, I said money, the economy, etc. They finally agreed to cancel on July 7 and to give me a 10 dollar/mo. discount til then. Meanwhile, back in the jungle, I'm scouting Ebay.

Is the 6150 keypad OK or do I need the 6160?

I'm about to jump > Good luck with dealing with Brinks. With their attrition rate being as

Get at least 1 6160 keypad, the rest can be 6150 if you like.

Don't be fooled by what they tell you on the phone my friend. You need to cancel in writing, and send it certified mail. Or else they will lock you in for another year.

Jim Rojas

Certified ............ Return receipt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just sending a Certified letter in no way proves that they received the letter ..... just that you mailed it.

My bad... :)

Jim Rojas

Well, they said they were gonna send me a form to sign. I can return that via certified, return-receipt mail. Or I can just write them a strongly-worded letter and send that certified, return-receipt.

I only use 1 keypad. The house is 1800 sq. ft. I'm looking at a Vista 20P panel and 6160 keypad on Ebay. Seems like that's all I need. From what you guys are saying on here, I can use the existing switches, motion detectors, fire and smoke detectors. I'll save the Brinx panel and keypad for when I move or when they come looking for their stuff.

You forgot to mention the bustier and the long feather earrings.

Actually I didn't want to bring out your poor taste.

I didn't think the bustier went well with the tube top.

And the feather earrings clashed with the pink jeweled horn rimmed glasses.

I prefer Spandex and black leather.

Well... you had the poor taste to mention that I wore tube tops. That's an outright lie. I prefer the bustier. I really like my new one. It's got gold toned steel caps and big rings I can hang my collection of panel keys from. :-)

I have this scary image of you going to a service call in the midst of winter. You might think about using some vasoline to keep the steel caps and rings from sticking to your skin in the sub zero temps. With the addition of the keys, should we call you Jingles? ;o]

Where it gets as cold as it gets where Frank is ........I'm picturing the scene from a Chrismas Story where the kid sticks his tongue to the flag pole. eeeewuuuu ..... little red key impressions ...... alllllllll over his body ..............

Oh yeah! That is the one where they said, "I double dog dare ya!" or it might have even been " I triple dog dare ya". Only to be back when things were so innocent. Now they are double dog dared to hold up convienence stores.

Never had that problem. The bra keeps the metal from contacting my skin.

Yeah... "Bo Jingles".

Ordered my Visa 20P and 6150 Keypad today. $139 w/free shipping. Wish me luck!
