Hi,
I had a Pyronix home alarm system fitted a few years ago which would send a SMS text message to my mobile if the alarm was triggered. However, that message suddenly stopped. My alarm engineer claims that when I changed my mobile phone network from Virgin to EE, that caused the issue as EE are blocking the PSTN system because they have fully converted their systems to digital(this seems to fit in time-wise with my phone change). Apparently, according to my engineer, all mobile networks will be doing this over the next few years, leaving me with two options.... 1, Do not receive alarm notifications or... 2, spend £300+ with him on a new alarm control panel which sends notifications via wifi to an app on my phone.
Is this information correct, or just a ploy to flog a new control panel...???
Cheers
Stu
