I have to deal with those Alarmforce noodleheads and their crap all
the time.

The wireless backup is a simple 'cloned' analogue cellphone. ALL their
wireless backup units have the same incoming number, but since no
calls are ever placed TO the device, there is no problem. The cell
units only call the CS.

AFAIK, the cell unit is only active if the main line goes down AND the
'alarm' is tripped. I don't believe Alarmforce even knows the main
line is down.

If the local Alarmforce installer installs equipment other than the
standard crap equipment, it may or may not have the wireless backup.
