Slomin's uses landline and cellular / GSM monitoring. Cell based monitoring is the optimal solution if your home has strong cellular reception and service. For more information on the various types of monitoring available click here.
Slomin's LANDLINE monitoring is $30.95 per month, based on a 60 month contract. This cost is high when considering the lock in time of 5 years, among the longest in the industry.

Slomin's reviewers have lots of complaints when it comes to moving, and for maintenance outside of the warranty. You are locking in to a 5 year contract, so be clear with the salesperson, the contract needs to reflect your living and work situation or you will be stuck with a long term contract.
