I have a number of rental properties that I want to put your security system in to while they are vacant. I do not wish to pay the phone connect & disconnect fee if I can avoid it.

Are you familiar with a Satelite dialer and where they are sold. I thought I can use that to dial out plus there are no phone lines for crooks to cut.

any help would be appreciated

When you say your system. This forum is not a good place to get ahold of X10 it is more for the people who use the x10 stuff to help each other.

I don't know much about x10 security system but it does require a phone line to call you. A Satelite dialer would use a Satelite phone of some kind and  I would think it would cost allot more then having the phone service to turn on a cheap line. but I could be wrong!!

I know places like ADT sells a wireless system for renters and I know people who use them for the same thing you are could be something to look into .

Google "Cell Fusion Adjunct Box Gateway"
You can get it as cheap as $30.00 from frys.com last time I check.
Then get a compatible cell phone.

This solution is much cheaper than $200.00 dock-n-talk or alikes.

What a great idea. I had thought of getting a phone system like that for my wife and I. My idea was to just make it easier to answer the phone... no matter which phone actually rang. But using that for a cellphone/security setup... temporary or permanent.... is brillant. You get a helpful from me.

Correction!!

According to the following link
http://shop4.frys.com/product/5642031?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Fry's is selling "GE 21518EE1 or 21518EC1 Cell Fusion Cell Gateway" for $39.99 not $30.00 I previously posted.

Another popular one are Panasonic KX-TH1212B and Panasonic KX-TH1211B.

Read reviews in Amazon before you buy them.
Some are available locally in Fry's, Walmart and Target, which are good for testing the compatibility with your cell phones. Don't forget to check their return policy.

Fry's Panasonic KX-TH1211B #5613971 is currently on sale(store walk in) until the end of today(01/06/2009).
$79.99 minus $40.00 mail in rebate.
