Phone Number Monitoring Centre

I have 24/7 monitoring and protection with the "control" plan. Is there a phone number where we can reach the monitoring centre in case of an alarm/false alarme, etc? I know they will try to reach me first, but I believe it's something important to have handy. I don't think it's the same phone number as TELUS. Thanks!

  • If you open up your SmartHome app you can follow these steps for a phone number:

    1. More

    2. Monitoring settings

    3. Save Contact.

     

    If an alarm does happen, the monitoring center will call you to confirm if it's a legitimate event or not. If it is a false alarm, you will be able to let them know

      The problem I had recently was that after I changed my phone number (and notified them) they still used the old one. I changed it through the Help Center and I remember somehow being connected to the Monitoring Center to notify both about the new number. I had a recent false alarm go off and they called the wrong number (according to the fireman who arrived at my house). Yet I still received a text message sent to the correct number! Frustrating!
