- Several people have asked me about the telco feature that notifies
- alarm monitoring compaines that your line has been cut, so I called US
- West to get a few more details:-
-
- US West offers the service under the name Scan Alert. Installation is
- $60.00, monthly is $7.50. Not all alarm companies are able to receive
- the signalling, but many of the big boys can, including ADT and Sears.
- The US West office that works with the alarm companies has the number
- (206) 345-5089. They may be able to help you find the "magic words"
- to order the service from your local phone company. I did confirm
- that the service works on existing lines, and notifies the alarm
- company if your phone line gets cut.
-
- All of the above is nothing more than the personal opinion of:
