GSM Dialler for a household alarm

Autodialler would the option note it doesn’t play a message on the EA unit, but it does call you.
 
Alig301,

How did you get on with the GJD gsm system, or anybody else for that matter?

Still struggling to find a reliable and properly recommend GSM dialler, as I am told time and time again they are a thing of the past. However for simple functionally, whereby a big panel upgrade to Comms/app subscriptions et al is just not required, what else is there?

I have a faulty gsm-activate module that doesn't do its job and two alarm installers tell me they are prone to failing. A CSL digi air has been suggested. Any thoughts on how easily these connect to a Honeywell Mini? Programming? They seem very inexpensive and are easy to pick up secondhand.

Finally, I've arrived at the GJD system with the keypad for programming etc, looks very comprehensive. Price on average is around £150. Is this value? A handful of Google & Amazon reviews speak favourably of them.

All thoughts and opinions welcome.
 
I ended up going for the 4G gsm-activate unit. It was easy'ish' to fit and seems to do the job well. Hopefully I wont need to test it in anger. Time will tell. I found the GSM active guys helpful so if there is an issue I am hopeful they would assist.

Let me know if I can be any more of assistance
 
An old android phone can make the job. If the alarm has an Open Close output, it can be plugged to the jack audio of the smartphone and make an automatic SMS or CALL. You car search for “Wired headphone Dialing Alarm” or look at alarmD

You could connect the dialer to the alarm's bell output or trigger terminals, depending on how your system is set up. Some models let you program multiple numbers for alerts.

And Texecom's GSM dialler works well with Premier Elite panels. You’ll need a SIM card with good coverage in your area, and some users prefer PAYG SIMs to avoid monthly fees. Make sure the panel settings allow for correct reporting.

If you're looking for detailed setup instructions or troubleshooting steps, checking the Texecom manual or their official support can be useful. There's plenty of info available online as well.
