    I removed two phone numbers from the RKP that were programmed to text - on event -

    All good -

    I for now just have my own mobile number in
    - I selected “ send Test Message - which it did couple hours ago , all good -
    But ! It had just sent me another now , couple of hours later - wasn’t expecting that !
    Is there an option to enable / disable -“ test messages” - not necessary -

    Lastly to ensure all is now working ok as I had sim disabled -now back enabled - can you simulate an alarm activation without actually activating the alarm ? To be definite it is working ok ?
    Thank you paddy

    You can send a test message as opposed to activating the alarm system.

    Perhaps -haven’t got one since -
    I’m nearly sure I had set it one time to send a “ test” once a week - might check there to ensure I don’t get them - I don’t want it -
    Where are those settings in comms menu I wonder
    Cheers

    Scroll till you see test message in the sms menu.
    What's it say in that?
