    Hi
    Just wondering does anyone know if it possible to get a motion sensor alarm that sends a text or alarm you your phone without using wifi? I've googled but can't seem to find one.
    I'm assuming you do need wifi. It's not for me so want to make sure I'm right before I go saying it! It's for a storage unit with (as far as I know) no phone line access.

    Any help at all greatly appreciated.

    Any alarm with a GSM installed will send you and others a text letting you know what the activation was.
    Most will also allow you text the unit back for setting/unsetting and status purposes.

    Are you looking for just a standalone PiR unit with everything built in.?
    Something like this?

    I wouldn't expect it to have for that price.:) .I'm not promoting it, just wondering if thats the type of thing the OP is looking for rather than a complete alarm system.
