Cellular Equipment – Not Using It? Take It Offline…

As new technology is embraced and grows in usage we begin to discover problems with our procedures that have to be adjusted. One of these adjustments is attached to the growing usage of cellular alarm equipment.

In times past all that was necessary to cancel a cell unit was a phone call to operations to give the order. But problems with that procedure quickly came to the surface and we realized we had to have a paper trail in order to protect us and to protect you, our dealers. Just as you complete, sign and send in an offline form for an account, don’t forget to fill out sign and send in a cellular offline form so we know to discontinue service on active cellular units.

The same rule applies for those occasions where you may have one type of cell service and you activate a unit of a different type to replace the original. As an example…you want to replace an Uplink unit with a Telguard unit. Not only do you need to activate the new unit, you need to send in a Cellular Offline form to deactivate the original unit so that you aren’t paying for two units. Since these types of services require us to pay the manufacturer there is very little that can be done in the way of credit extended days, weeks, or months later when the problem is discovered.

The Cellular Offline Form can be downloaded at.
