How to Change the Phone Number With an In-Home Security System

Home security systems help to provide piece-of-mind for home owners who are concerned about the possibility of burglary or vandalism. While security systems have many different options, it is standard for there to be a main control panel that connects to a call center if your system has a monitoring service. The standard alarm system is connected through your phone system so the alarm company and the police are automatically and immediately notified in the event of alarm activation. If you have to change your phone number, you will need to take your system into account.

Instructions

- 1
  Call your telephone provider to set up your change of phone number and a specific date for the change to take place. You can find the number for your phone company on your bill. The phone company will take care of swapping your phone number and you need to contact your alarm company and city officials.
- 2
  Notify your alarm company in writing that you are changing your phone number and tell them when the change takes place. Call the alarm company prior to the number changing to verify that they received your written notice. They will update your records and contact info.
- 3
  Contact your city to notify them of your change of address if you are required to have a permit for your alarm system. You can probably find the forms online on your state's website, depending on your state. Fill them out and either email, mail, or fax them to the number or address on the form.
