ifindoubt Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hi, recently beengiven an enforcer kit to install in my girlfriends house to try it out, but have been reading online about it being around 50p per message sent, also that the panel dials a premium ratenumber every 2 weeks to check for updates for the sms number, can anyone clarify the exact charges please? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwillis Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 It will depend on your telephone providers charges I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifindoubt Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 , after a quick google it would appear that talk talk do not support sms over landline, for future reference though, does anyone know how much the call is to the premium rate number?

It's a bad idea to use TAP anyway. Premium numbers can have different rates, you need to check the number with your service provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst +1 for SWB, when you say TalkTalk do not support SMS, that probably means they don't let you RECIEVE texts to a compatible DECT phone as was breifly all the rage a few years ago. I don't think talktalk can/would/will sstop you dialling a very low baud rate modem which is essentially how TAP works. So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybergibbons Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think most of the NGN networks support stuff like 2400 baud, once you get above 14.4k, it all goes wrong though. I have a blog, some of which is about alarm security and reverse engineering:http://cybergibbons.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I've never heard of problems with low baud modem, if that was the case Webway PSTN path would fail all the time and talktalk would say they didn't support fax which would be a far more common want. Which they may do. So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiml Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi, Just joined this group so sorry for the late reply. The Enforcer SMS system makes two calls. It makes a 50p call every 18 day which totals £12 per year on the customers bill. This calls the CHC server and check for any updates to the SMSC or TAP services. This service was used when the O2 server failed and the CHC moved all Castle and Pyronix systems to the Vodafone service without the need to visit site. Call costs for the messages depends on the service provider. BT charge 22p per minute for 07 numbers and the message typically send in less than one minute so this is normally the charge made. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
