Question:
I have finished installing my G2 +44 alarm last week after ironing out the final problems. All works well but I would like it to text me when there was an alarm trigger. I have a Virgin phone line and a Virgin mobile.From what I have recently learned the panel uses the tap protocol to send the message. Ideally I just want to be paying for the odd text message in an alarm situation. Is this going to be possible as I seem to be finding everywhere I look that this type of messaging is/has being discontinued. I just have the standard built in modem not the GSM module.
Response:
OpenTAP from DIDcomms its the only free of charge and reliable TAP gateway in the UK at present. The only catch is you must register to use the service which prevents fraud and text spammers.
