I was looking for a security monitoring service that charges a reasonable price and won't obliged me to add any additional features just because I'm using VoIP or anything other than a land-line telephone service. Even if the companies provide feature that accommodates VoIP, they don't cover every VoIP provider in the province.
After dealing with my usual picks (which you see their ads on tv, radio & the web...), I went to HomeStar site for reference. I gave Grand Alarm a call and their fluent response was surprising. It impresses me not only on the fact that they offer a very good price for monthly monitoring fees, they also provide you with options & featurettes that won't blow your wallet. Moreover, they won't sequentially coerce you to obtain any additional feature that others will tell you, "... We strongly suggest you to take the option, otherwise we cannot guarantee blah blah blah, you're at your own risk blah blah blah..."
Bav, the representative of GA was very professional and friendly to deal with. Instantly he accessed the data of our new home from the online builder site info and found out that our house has already been pre-wired by the builder for alarm sensors on windows & doors. The technician came and installed the system within a few hours, without any fuzz! The system was easy to use and fool-proof for the tech-illiterate in our house hold...
Honestly, I rarely gave out five stars but I really have to give it to GA because of their professionalism. No wonder they have such high rankings at Home Star!
