Bought this with a dialer and several other accessories and does what I expected it to do... granted, these devices are not built like a tank....but look at the price you are paying...I think they are an excellent value...If you want a professional system, go that route...but the Skylink equipment is more the enough to get you reasonable protection on a budget.

I bought this item with a lot of other Skylink items from Amazon. All the other Skylink came in the same plastic style packaging except this one came in an ordinary cardboard box. Which I thought was a little odd. Then I open the box and no instructions. Because the instructions are usually inside the plastic pack. Then I opened the battery cover and there was the battery already installed with the plastic protection that you normally have to rip off the 9 volt batter already ripped off. This item is clearly a return/used/refurbished item. That Amazon has repackaged and shipped under the description of new. I am not at all happy to see Amazon taking the same route as Overstock and shipping out refurbished items as new. I will be returning this one and expect a packaged one if I wanted used I would of bought used.

Not sure how the product actually works but Amazon gets a one star on this. Packaging was open and not labeled. Does not seem new. No DC adapter and no directions.

Does Amazon read these reviews? Obviously not, otherwise why would they keep doing this? Might be time to sell the stock!

I got it with the battery already installed and out of power--almost to zero instead of 9 volts.
I am installing it right now and it does not seem to pick up the alarm from my other alarm, even if I had the volume to high. This is not new it is a used one. It did not have instructions. Nothing.. Very dissapointed. Do not buy this. I am just sorry I did not read the previous review.
I am actually now editing my review. It does work, but only when the true alarm is sounding, it would not work on the test mode of the alarm. If you are using it in conjunction with another alarm, it would use up the phone line and your main alarm may not have a dial tone, even if you have a gsm with a regular phone line---which I have, and it definitely is not working that way--
