Last Wednesday we went to the caravan which was in storage and while
there accidentally triggered the alarm and it took at least a minute
before we were able to switch it off We expected a call from Phantom, but it did not come although the caravan is in an excellent reception area.
As
I had other things on my mind I forgot about it until Saturday when it
dawned on me that Phantom had not contacted me about the alarm being
triggered.
I then wrote an email to Phantom querying it and within
less than 30 minutes I had a call from Phantom telling me that the
alarm had been triggered. I queried when it had happened and the lady
admitted that it had happened on the Wednesday. She could not tell me
what had gone wrong and suggested I contact the HQ on Monday when they
opened.
Less than half an hour after her call, I got someone from
Phantom HQ who basically was very upset about my email querying why we
had contacted them when the alarm had triggered and had no response?
All
sorts of excuses were made by this person. They asked why I had not
contacted them when I realised that there had been no contact from
them. I reminded him of my email and also the fact that if it had been
triggered by someone else,we would not have known about it and the
caravan could have been stripped or stolen in the meantime.
I was
then assurred that he would send me a text to set up a pin number in
case of accidental triggering and also a text with a link to a website
where I could monitor the position of the caravan. Needless to say none
of these materialised.
At the moment we are not very happy with Phantom and we even had issues renewing with them as they could not be bothered to set up the DD until after the due date! Beware!

Wow, this is not good, we have had phantom proactive for 3 years and i am always setting the dammed thing off, and within seconds i get a text quickly followed up with a telephone call.
i am really suprised by this as i understood their service to be good... Hate to say it Surfer but from Wednesday to Saturday your caravan could have been anywhere in Europe, or dare i say it being lived in by travelers, and then even if you found it you would not be able to claim it back...
please keep us updated regarding the website and pin number

I have had a Phantom Pro-active tracker on my van for nearly 3 years, and I have never had any problems at all.

I have always found them to be very efficient.

Generally we have always had a text and a phone call in the past. The concern here is if it was overlooked this time, what about next time? The caravan may be insured, but it is all the hassle to go with claiming.
The other incident was when we were towing and about 20 - 30 miles from the storage site when they advised us that that the alarm had triggered? This was in February last year when the caravan was only 4 months old. We stopped and checked and the alarm was switched off however we do not remember accidentally triggering it however even if we did, it took a long time for them to respond!
