Has any one seen or used on of these:
It reroutes the phone call. That's quite a way to steer business to your monitoring co. I don't use them, and it seems like one of those too good to be true things.
Just wondering what the low down is on them.
Waste of time.

I guess if you're just interested in RMR. But if you're locked out of programming a panel...how'd you service your client properly.

I don't think that i would use one anyway; for the reason you put forth if no other. I just thought it was an interesting work around to avoid real work. How much work must it put on the central to weed out oddball signals that might be coming from the panel.
Theres a cheapo cs on the internet that uses them (it may be that co. that you saw..but i seem to remember a different name). I have an ollllddddd client that went with them (he regrets it but hes too cheap to come back to me)...it works like this; you sign up for monitoring and they sell you one of those things for 50 bucks, when you get it you plug it in and send signals and tell them what you set off and I guess they put in zone descriptions. Of course no supporting stuff will ever get to them...restorals, troubles, low batts, ac fail, daily test, etc - since the homeowner will not know how to send those.
Its really dumb.

That's a great DIY solution.
