Hello,
For anyone who was paying the basic fee, simply for alarm monitoring (without the additional cost of two "free" annual call outs, for equipment servicing), the prices have been increased by close to 40% when annualised.
Phonewatch are claiming that they no longer provide the basic monitoring service, so they are forcing all customers onto the higher rate with the two "free" call outs (subject to you actually requesting the call out each time, which I would suspect most people never do as long as their equipment continues to work correctly).
No specific declaration of the price increase that I am aware of, just noticed it when an invoice came in the door (which was itself unusual, as we traditionally pay it monthly and don't get an invoice on a regular basis).
I am unsure if their other service packages have also seen price increases, but it's a warning for everyone to check their invoices and direct debits.
Is anyone able to recommend alternative service providers to Phone Watch, that also provide a similar monitored service please, as it's time to compare pricing and perhaps move service ?
Thank you.
