    Currently my alarm is connected via phone line to monitoring station. This is the only reason I have a phone line. I want to get rid of the phone line and use a sim card instead - can take it out occasionally to keep it active / top up. What kind of equipment should I be looking for and cost? I also have metro broadband (wireless from Digiweb). I'm going to use a voip service for the phone and this is not recommended for alarm monitoring. Maybe I could connect the alarm to an ata and have the sim card as a backup. Thoughts??

    You could use a G-SMART.
    You can get it in borsatec, they cost €265 plus vat. Its the cheapest place to get them i know.

    G-smart can function to remote connection/disconnection.
    Relays 2-8 can be connected to any electrical device.
    This means that by sms the user can operate electrical devices remotely, receiving back through sms the confirmation of the correct connection/disconnection.
    It can be used on lights, central heating (temperature control) and alarms
