When you are renovating it is important that you contact PhoneWatch before you start the work contact us on 1850 753 753. When you disassemble a component belonging to the alarm, a tamper alarm is sent to the Alarm Receiving Centre. If you are contacted by the alarm Receiving Centre, they will ask for your verification password. Note that if you disassemble components yourself, the product warranty does not apply.
When your alarm is activated you should get a feedback from our Alarm Receiving Centre via phone or SMS. If this does not happen, there may be various reasons why your alarm system does not get in contact with the Alarm Receiving Centre. If this is the case please contact us via webchat or phone 1850 753 753

* Excludes batteries, batteries are not included and must be paid for separately, cost of €95 for 1-9 batteries and €150 for anything over 9 batteries. PhoneWatch's policy is to replace all batteries when one goes as, in our experience, when one starts to go they may all go in a short space of time. We replace all batteries including your panel battery and then guarantee the batteries for 3 years so if one goes in this time frame we replace it free of charge. Contact our customer support team on 1850 753 753 if batteries are required.
You have unlimited service call outs each year, we recommend to have your alarm serviced every 6-12 months. We can also remotely service your alarm over the phone when you are at your alarm panel on 1850 753 753
There is only one level of service for all customers which includes monitoring and maintenance.
Batteries are a consumable, and the lifetime depends on local conditions in your home. The replacement rate is therefore individual and is therefore charged individually. PhoneWatch provides a 3 year warranty from the last full battery change. Once this warranty is up and you have a low battery these are chargeable to replace.
