Need Tap To Sms Message Signalling For Your Alarm Systems?

Introducing OpenTAP our Free of Charge TAP gateway messaging service?

 


Does your security system’s or other supported devices SMS alert use O2 or other network service provider? 

Security systems over a year old which use the O2's TAP gateway service to deliver an SMS text message to key holders when their alarm is activated, now need to switch to another provider.

O2 withdrew their "TAP" gateway product in March 2012. Plus other major networks to follow! The change may well cause problems for a number of alarm systems.

 

The SMS TAP service uses a landline connection from the alarm control panel to send text messages to a phone number programmed by an installer or end-user. The messages were directed by a service provider using a TAP gateway.

 

While your mobile carrier may not understand the importance of TAP in the area or network and industrial monitoring, Open Telecom and our partners do!

 

If your system offers the ability to send an SMS text message to you when it is activated and you think it is using the O2 or other network providers TAP gateway for this, please contact us

 

Kind Regards

At 50p per call it's not really free then! That's 3x the price of the legacy system!

Well its not likely to be free is it?  They have to make money somehow otherwise why would they provide the service? and 50p per message is better than no message for free which is what O2 is providing at the moment. I guess the reason O2 and many of the other operators withdrew their TAP service is because they didnt realise they should be charging for it. Instead of just thinking that they are not making money from something thats costing them.

Correct Peter, that is exactly why they puled the plug
