- If your phone line provider is AT&T U-Verse or Charter Cable which are VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), they are not an approved means of communication! These Companies perform updates which interrupts your service for 5-10 minutes. Your alarm system has a built in phone line monitor to protect you from someone cutting your phone line. Call for programming changes.

- No. If you have an emergency, call 911 first. If you are unable to call 911, then depress the panic button on your touchpad, and Alarm24 will request emergency services.
