Im currently working on an alarm system for my workshop using an old mobile phone. Im setting the speed-dial number 1 to call my mobile, removing the number 1 button from the phone and soldering 2 wires in its place. These 2 wires will go to a contact switch on my workshop door (with the phone hidden away somewhere). If it all works, the old phone should automatically call me when the door is opened and I will store the old phone's number in my phone as 'ALARM'. Hopefully this means that if anyone breaks into my workshop they will not know the alarm has been triggered and I can go and show them the error of their ways before they can run off (or, if Im not home I can just ring a neighbour to go and shoot them for me!). :evil
