Bike alarms with pagers - recommendations?

[Dog Star]

I've just been paid out by the insco (they don't hang about these days, do they?) after having my pride and joy R1 stolen I will be replacing it.

This is the first thing I have ever had stolen in my life (except for a biro at school) and I swear it will never ever happen again. I could seriously kick myself about this all day long.

Anyway - the new bike will be alarmed as the last line of defence, but I think a paging alarm is the way to go. Does anyone have one? Any recommendations? It *must* be a paging alarm; I cannot rely on other people reacting to my stuff being lifted.

Why pager?
A text message is more reliable and tbh I doubt the pager service will exist for much longer.

I also doubt any alarm manufacturer have developed an alarm that is clever enough to ring up a call centre and relay a message, unless it's done by a PC of course.

Pager, text - not bothered. I want it to get me out of bed. I'm asking for advice.

I've fitted Biketrac by Road Angel to my Multi. Some very good reviews and happy endings

That's the sort of thing I'm looking for. I'm just going to have to take the cost and subscription on the chin - the price we pay for living in a society teaming with thieving scum, sadly. It's actually going to cost me twice that - got the OHs bike to do as well.
