    so what would be the best option now

    They are all different and most situations will come down to cost and what the customer is looking for.
    Multi paths is the best option to use.

    GSM, Gprs, IP, Radio, digi/voice dialers, dual com. all devices that are used to monitor your alarm. If you use a combination of these its called multi paths.

    After the initial outlay on buying the device, IP with an app once internet is available in a premises is the cheapest.
    Not the most secure with regards to using one path as could be off for a number of reasons.
    Some will choose GPRS where internet or a line is not available.
    Some will choose a GSM if they have no line either.
    Some will choose a voice dialer if they just have a phone line.
    Some will choose Radio where no line or internet is available also.
    Dual com can also be used which polls to the monitoring station.
    Its all about what suits a customer and budget.
    Do they want to self monitor the system, do they want it monitored by a monitoring station.
    To be honest every device used to monitor your alarm has flaws, that's why multi paths where available are used to back each other up.
    I am not saying every system out there has this but with this becoming cheaper to do then its becoming more popular.

    I got a letter from Eircom today announcing increases in every part of my contract plan, plus termination of the SMS service as of June 30th 2015.

    It'll be 'bye bye Eircom'.

    If you get rid of your Eircom line are you planing to get another service provider?

    A GSM would be the cheapest solution.
    You can use a ready to go sim with the GSM.

    Here is a link to the App.
    For pricing an install you would need to contact local installers.
    Here is a link to the PSA website of installers.

    Thanks again. Generally how much would it be for a panel and LAN dialler to replace a HKC panel and dialler including installation or how much just for those items?

    Prices can vary, you would need to contact local installers to compare prices for an installation.

    Grand. But the equipment itself would be around how much for the above panel and LAN card? I couldn't see any prices on the website provided?

    I did get a quote for a Siemans panel and LAN dialler of €450 including installation during the week. Seemed steep. I'm wondering is it?
