Yes, but we don’t recommend it. Without the Emergency Dispatch Service, only the burglar alarm siren will sound and no authorities will be called. The SimpliSafe Emergency Dispatch Service is easy to set up, can be charged to your credit or debit card, and canceled at any time.

Yes, most insurance carriers will provide you with a discount (typically 5-20%) for having a monitored do-it-yourself security system like SimpliSafe. To be eligible for this discount, you must be subscribed to the Emergency Dispatch Service.

We can provide you with a certificate to show your insurance agent, stating that we are monitoring your home or business.

If your SimpliSafe wireless security system cannot communicate with the Emergency Dispatch Center, it will let you know by announcing "No link to dispatcher" when you turn the alarm on and displaying "No link to dispatcher" on the Keypad. Also, the Base Station blue light will blink, indicating a warning.

Take the following steps to correct this condition:

1) Make sure you have activated your Emergency Dispatch Service online.

2) Move the Base Station near a window for better reception or connect it to a landline.

3) If you are using a landline, make sure the phone cord is securely connected to the wall jack and the Base Station, and that there are no other phones off the hook in your home. Also, if you need to dial "9" or another number to get an outside line, please add this dialing prefix using the Keypad menu (option 2) or Easy Setup Wizard (advanced options). If you do not need a dialing prefix, make sure none is set.

4) Occasionally, our nationwide wireless provider does not activate an account right away. We are automatically notified when this problem happens and will contact the carrier to resolve it, which may take up to 24 hours.

If the problem persists, please be sure to contact us.

Some wireless carriers will by default disable your phone's ability to receive text messages sent by e-mail. Verizon and AT&T users can enable e-mail texts right on their online accounts. Other wireless providers require you to call in for customer support and request that you can receive SMS messages sent to your phone's SMS e-mail address.

For Verizon:

Go to Your Account's Spam Controls and log into your account when prompted. On the bottom of this screen there is a button labeled 'Block all text messages sent from email' that you'll just need to deselect. That's it!

For AT&T

Go to Your Account's Messaging Controls and log into your account when prompted. You will then need to navigate to your spam control and ensure you have selected the ability to receive e-mail text messages.

Unfortunately, we cannot refund unused service time. However, any unused time will remain on the account if you choose to reactivate at a later date. If returned within the 60 day money back guarantee period, we can refund the total purchase price of your system, but not the service time.

If you sign up for dispatch service when you purchase your system (recommended), you will be charged for the first month at the time of purchase. However, your service will start only when you activate it. For example, if you purchase your system on June 1 and activate your service on June 15, your first month will begin on June 18 (after the 72 hour wireless security system practice period has ended). Your card will then be charged again just before July 18, August 18 and so on.

No problem.
