Cellular connectivity question Jon Paris 04-28-2008

I have a question concerning GSM cellular connectivity for my security
system. The system I have (DSC 832) is installed in a vacation home far from
any landlines. Since I have no landlines I am currently relying on just the
siren to repel intruders. I have seen complete systems on EBay that seem to
accomplish what I would like to do but they look really cheap and nasty and
I'd really like to keep my current system in place.

I would also like it to utilize pre-paid SIM cards so I can self monitor and
have it call me as well as the neighbor of my cabin. Is there such an animal
out there that fits my needs?

TIA,

Jon

What an unusual inquiry. You want to...self...monitor? How will that work,
exactly?

Not actual monitoring, I would just like the system to call me and my
neighbor. Through caller ID I and he would know my system activated.

This is one of the systems on Ebay that seems to do everything I am looking
for but I'd rather just add the cellular functionality to the system I
already have-
