Poor customer service

The device will not get a strong enough wireless signal on our entire parcel. So, I can't tell if the dialing out part actually works. It has a weak signal, and other devices such as phones and hot spots work with a weak signal, but apparently this thing does not. The alarm goes off and it otherwise works as it should. This signal strength happens to be a problem with Verizon in general, because we are in a dead spot surrounded by otherwise strong coverage, so I was not completely surprised when I saw the box labeled as CDMA-V. The techs look at a map and tell me we have coverage. As far as they are concerned, that is the end of the discussion. I have tried to get StraightTalk to tell me how to get a device using another carrier. I was even willing to install this one in a rental house (assumsing it will work with a strong signal) and buy a second one for our property. No response. They vanish. The reps and live agents hang up on me! They don't have a clue and hanging up is their solution. Even more amazing, now that I have activated this one, even the ST web site will not allow me to choose a different location. It should be simple enough to tell me how to get a device using any carrier other than Verizon. But that is one point at which customer service vanishes.

Works well

The unit can get confused if you send arm, silence and disarm signals before the system has a chance to change modes. Just take your time and allow the system to process each command prior to sending a new command. Loaded the iOS smart iPhone app and works really well. Siren is high pitch and loud enough so an intruder will know an alarm has been triggered. My plan would be to call neighbor to look at doors and windows. If anything looks ajar I'll call the police to check it out. Motion sensors are picking up movement within 30 ft and through open interior doorways. Inexpensive system and after a few days it works really well. 2 motion detectors, one on each level. For me the door and window sensors would be a waste of money. Should have bought directly from Straight Talk. Would have saved $7 to $8. I've had get luck with Straight Talk BYOP in St Louis region and also traveling between St Louis and Corpus Christi TX.
