    National Alarm Monitoring Companies for DIYers

      I bought mine from JMAC. I bought the LTE version (https://www.jmac.com/Elk_C1M1LTEV_p/elk-c1m1ltev.htm), but they also carry the GSM version (https://www.jmac.com/Elk_C1M14GSM_p/elk-c1m14gsm.htm). I've bought a handful of ELK products from them and they have decent prices and shipping is...
