Not nearly "valued at £179.99". Take a look at this site selling them for £79.99:- http://www.telephonesonline.co.uk/details.asp?prodID=1016&title=Home+Security+Telephones+and+Devices

I have got an alarm at present, it is an old one but it's just been serviced, it isn't wireless but will this cordless home system connect with the sensors?

Cheers

PS Still think it's a good deal free home system along with £150 off a new pc??

Glad

I'm moving this from the Internet board as it is a shortlived offer and for a limited number of applicants

£5.00 isn't a lot if you consider how much your paying to get your Alarm serviced yearly plus the fact having a Home Monitor System will reduce your annual insurance??

It also alerts you via e-mail , mobile texts etc if any intruders or if a fire broke out, i'd be quite happy with that!
