We are soon going to request a disconnection from Eircom for our landline . ( finished paying line rental TG )

We have an Eircom Alarm system , but we don't have a paid subscription with Eircom .

In other words , the alarm will activate only .

Can anyone tell us if the alarm will continue to work as normal , when we are disconnected from landline ?
 
Theresa ,
Maybe you misunderstand us or maybe we misunderstand you .

But this Eircom alarm system will be unmonitored from now on .

In other words , it will activate , but will not dial .

Do we still need a gsm ?
 
They obviously didn't read your post.

If you don't have a paid subscription at the moment, and it works, then I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't when the line is disconnected. Is there a way of disconnecting the line manually? If so, plug it out and trigger the alarm, you'll soon know. :)
 
I have one, not monitored now and it would have cost about €100 at the time to get the alarm physically dsconected from the telephone connection box.

I didn't bother ... but every so often it tries top dial out without affecting the alarm.

I reckon ... take a chance .... as it's not monitored; the line being cut off should have no effect on it.

The alarm will still work but if Eircom kill the voltage on the line it will come up on the alarm as a fault. The only way around this is to remove the phone numbers out of the dialer. It is a simple task that your alarm company could do over the phone but they want to call out so they can charge you for this.

Is it a wired alarm or a wire free alarm you have installed ?
