Here is my situation. My neighbors broke one of their two GEM-KEYF
Wireless Keyfob Remotes. The alarm company they originally used is no
longer in business so they want to get a new wireless remote. If I

I know that this has been hashed out somewhat in the past, but i want to
know the good and bad of the cell providers.  Right now i am leaning towards
Telguard, but i am wondering who has experience with them or any one else.
