I did not get much help from NextAlarm on this issue. They wanted to blame the HAI C3 as the problem or either the Elk M1 panel. I suspected the problem was on NextAlarm's end and I was correct. In the frustration, I cancelled with NextAlarm. I contacted Watchlight / Alarm Relay. I must say...

UPDATE 05/16/2011 I have setup my system with (Elk M1 Gold with HAI C3) a T-mobile SIM card. I signed up with Next Alarm. My system made three calls out to Next Alarm and seemed to be working while using the Contact ID format. I then got a failure to communicate error. I have not had a...

Hello Everyone, I have been lurking here reading posts for a long time, but this is my first time posting. I don't want to start a debate about Next Alarm vs. Alarm Relay. That has been done already. My question is this: Is anyone using Next Alarm with their ABN and using a HAI C3 as backup...
