Yes, since the advent of the many cellular units now available, the panel t=
elco and account number are negated and irrelevant. But, there are still ma=
ny systems only on telco and the customer is not wanting to pay the extra c=
harge for cellular... unless the installing company wants to absorb the cos=
t.

The point is not what is available, but the gall of 'Mona' and her 'Honey' =
colluding together to 'trap' unknowing customers to locked systems. For the=
 programming purposely shows "Locked" in the telco numbers. A security syst=
em mainboard is more or less a complicated communication device with many i=
nputs and programming parameters as to when and how it will communicate. As=
 such, it is technically subject to the FCC-the Federal Communication Commi=
ssion.

Additionally, because of the collusion, in that they purposefully attempt t=
o prevent other companies from using their system boards, it has run afoul =
of the other small department in the US called the FTC-the Federal Trade Co=
mmission, which was instituted purposefully to prevent anyone from such unf=
air trade practices.

Further, Mona's 'Honey', directly financially benefits by the unlocked repl=
acement boards that it sells to companies that yet only know this as a solu=
tion. Until only quite recently, there has not been a plethora of available=
 devices available to overcome the locked boards.
