Re: They shouldn't be able to call it "9-1-1"
My alarm has a self diagnostic mode...supposedly. According to my ViaTalk call logs it also dials in every day. I don't know why. Maybe to check line quality. When the alarm company found out that I was using VoIP they said they were going to make some changes, maybe this was one of them. |

| Still if you're not testing a sensor but an actual trigger then it is not a full test. nextalarm.com monitors over the internet through real polling (every 5 min) so if your line gets cut then you will be notified. I also pay them about $11 a month, interested? |

Corona, CA | I don't know what else it tests. The only backup it has is cellular backup. It's not connected to my home network or anything. |
