Our Bronze Package does not include a cellular backup unit. If there is no active phone line on the premises, a cellular backup unit is required for installation at an additional cost of $5 per month, added to the monitoring rate. In this situation, I highly recommend considering our Silver Package, which offers additional features at the same overall monthly cost.
Even if there is an active phone line on the premises, a cellular backup unit is strongly recommended to ensure continuous system operation and enhanced security.
For customers enrolled in our Silver, Gold, or Platinum Packages, a cellular backup unit is required and the monthly cellular service is included in the monitoring fee. Please note, however, that while the monthly service is included, the cost of the actual cellular backup unit itself is not included and will be billed separately.
If you have any questions or would like help selecting the package that best fits your needs, please feel free to reach out.
Cellular backup units typically range in price from $139 to $199, depending on whether Total Connect is required.
If you prefer not to purchase a cellular backup unit outright, a lease option is available. Leasing requires:
Because Alarms4Less maintains a strict no-contract policy, the leasing agreement is not provided by Alarms4Less. Instead, the lease contract is offered directly through 24/7 Security Services.
To help reduce upfront costs or eliminate leasing fees, we are offering a limited number of returned leased cellular units at a 75% discount . All units are fully tested and backed by a three-year performance guarantee. If a unit fails at any time during that period, the full purchase price will be credited toward a new cellular unit, making this a low-risk, high-value option.
Availability is limited, so please let us know if you would like to take advantage of this offer.
A cellular backup unit helps ensure your alarm system remains operational even if your phone line is disconnected, damaged, or otherwise unavailable. It provides an added layer of reliability and protection, helping your system continue to communicate during emergencies or service interruptions.

Are you having trouble deciding which monitoring package best fits your budget? Let’s look at some simple math to make the decision easier.
At a 3% annual interest rate, $99 in the bank earns about $3 per year. Our bi-annual plan saves you $41.40 annually, which is $38.40 more than the bank interest.
If you kept $385.20 in the bank at the same 3% annual interest rate, your yearly return would be approximately $22.00. By choosing our three-year plan, your savings total $120.00 per year, significantly outperforming the bank return.
The value is clear: investing in long-term monitoring provides far greater savings than letting that money sit in a low-interest account.
