We’ve been considering dumping our landline as everyone in the house has a cell. However, we also have a home security system (ADT) that is tied in to the landline. I keep meaning to check and see if they can use the internet or a cell system in place of the landline... Anyone using a home security system without a landline?

I have 3 cell phones with TMobile and 1 with Verizon ( to make sure that we have coverage everywhere we go.) but we have NO CELL service at our house.

All the phones forward to a land line.

When we get in the car we have to stop at the top of the hill and forward all the incoming call fron land line to one of the cell phones.

I get No on-line either thur a hard wire so I have Hughes Net.

No TV signal so I have DIRECTV.

In all I spend $340 a month For Phone,Internet and TV (FOX NEWS).

ADT uses your land line to monitor alarms. The equipment dial pulses that info to their alarm center.

Scenario : Disconnected landline..ADT attempts to call you on your landline number...no answer...they roll FD & PD.

Have ADT or another company such as Brinks, you must have a landline.

The cost for using home security without a home line is more expensive than using a landline.

Doesn’t make that decision inferior or is it superior.

It a priroity of the individual.

What’s a important to them.

Alarm systems can use cell or there is radio transmitter receivers. Check:

Your alarm company will install a wireless device in lieu of or in conjunction with a land line.

The option for wireless, with or without a landline, is around $35 per month in addition to any services or level of service provided by ADT.
