Hello Ano, thanks for replying. I did call them and the refer that I should contact my dealer. The dealer actually told me to get a C3...ano said:Call your monitoring company, and see what they recommend for your situation. Some equipment works with the Omni, some does not. A good monitoring company should be able to guide you.
Sounds like you are in a situation where the monitoring company only deals directly with dealers, and your dealer isn't really supporting you. If you are a bit DIY, and aren't trapped in a contract with the dealer, its probably best to find a monitoring company that will deal directly with the users. There are a few. NextAlarm and AlarmRelay and a few others. I've used them both but use AlarmRelay now and it has been working out pretty good. I'm using a Teleguard TG-1 Express but it doesn't support dialing into the panel unfortunately.hamster0204 said:Hello Ano, thanks for replying.

I will put that into consideration. I recently extended my monitoring contract. I was hoping it will be a simple and cost efficient solution to buy a device that is cheap to do so but I guess notano said:Sounds like you are in a situation where the monitoring company only deals directly with dealers, and your dealer isn't really supporting you.

Pete, which device are you referring? I found 3 Ericsson w35 on ebay. 2 $40 and 1 $135. My only thing is I'm not confident if it'll work. If it doesn't It will be a hassle to return it! What do you think?pete_c said:Picked up the Ericsson (3G) for less than $100 here from Australia.
T mobile has stated that they will continue with 2g service through at least 2020. T-mobile sim card works in the C3. https://newsroom.t-mobile.com/news-and-blogs/att-2g-iot-lifeline.htmhamster0204 said:Hey guys, I hope this thread is not dead yet. I went through the topic and believes the C3 is an old technology now and I tried a XLink, but it didn't work. I currently have T-mobile sim cards with numbers sitting around. All I need is a device that can successfully convert the sim or cellphone signal to landline and allow my Omni to send out the signal to the monitor center. My Xlink BTTN can't send out the signal properly to the monitor center. It dials but I don't think it can convert the FSK through bluetooth to my Omni or the monitor center. I googled some of the devices mentioned on the forum/topic but Ericsson seems like an overkill, the ZTE MF608 is nowhere to be found, ZTE WF720 works only for AT&T. Any suggestion? much appreciated
