Last updated October 13, 2026
ACT service text messages
ACT Security Services LLC ("ACT") sends text messages to customers who ask for them about their service visits and their security, fire alarm and camera systems. Texts come from ACT's toll-free texting number.
What we text
- Confirmation that we received your service request, and when your visit is confirmed, moved or cancelled
- A reminder the day before your visit
- A "technician on the way" message with an arrival time
- A note when your service report is ready in your customer portal
- Replies to questions you text us
We do not send marketing or advertising texts.
How you sign up
Texting is optional and never required to buy anything from us. You can sign up in either of these ways:
- Online: when you book a service visit in your ACT customer portal (my.alarmtech.com), tick the box that says: "Text me about this visit (confirmation, reminder the day before, and when the technician is on the way). Message & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop at any time."
- By phone or in person: tell our office you would like text updates, and we record your consent before sending any texts.
This is the box customers tick in the ACT customer portal.
How often
Message frequency varies. Usually 1 to 4 texts for each service visit.
Cost
ACT does not charge for texts. Message and data rates may apply from your mobile carrier.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
