Mom has been contacted by a company saying they can provide her with £900 alarm system and just charge 99 installation
Would there probably be some annual cost

pay them £99 , and leave it in a box , put on ebay for £750
NO company is going to give £900 worth of equipment away , there will be more catches than on my kitchen cupboards doors
ONLY have this fitted IF THERE NO ANUAL charges , or maintenance fees0 -
Lol,
It will be the £200 annual 'management fees' and the £150 annual service where they get you. Probably with a 10 year minimum term contract too.
Walk away and buy the kit yourself if you are concerned.0 -
It'll be a monitored system with a monthly fee payable...and probably a five year minimum term.
Would help if you named the company...No free lunch, and no free laptop

Just seen an ad on Facebook locally for a £700 system. £49 install fee, and then £24.99 pm. No mention of a minimum term, but echoes what macman has stated.0
