House was built in the early 90's, Dublin, and we have an Itec Horizon wired alarm. Upstairs and downstairs is completely wired and has sensors.

I'm looking to get a new alarm, something monitored, would like an external bell box, and for a GSM dialler to be used if the main phone line goes down.

On talking to Eircom Phonewatch, they pushed going for a completely wireless system, downstairs only points, dummy external box. Looking for other opinions on what the best systems are (there seem to be a few people on here who know their stuff). Can the existing wires be re-used? (phonewatch's first response was that they would need to be replaced if a wired system was used).
