Let our customers tell their stories

iSocket 3G is our latest product for power outages monitoring, although solving a power outage alert problem is not new for us.

I would suggest that it is the best solution for power outage monitoring available on the market.

This looks like an awesome device - for instance if you are alerted of a power cut, you ring your power company. If no faults can be traced, you can bet someone has cut your power for evil reasons. Or maybe you go out a lot and forget to turn on your electric blanket. Send a text and you’ll come home to a nice warm bed. You can even control the lights when you’re away.

Kram Nacnud, New Zealand

Excellent overall product. The plastic construction of the device is first class, sturdy plastic with perfect fit and finish. The instruction manual is expansive, 26 pages, which is welcome given many products come with no manuals today. Customer service at iSocket is very good as well, so this is a great product to solve a common problem of remote server or router reboot.

Joe, USA

After returning from a 10 day holiday to find the power out and the contents of the fridge and freezers ruined, I decided to look for some kind of alarm/alert product and came across iSocket. I was delighted with the service. Truly a quality product. Now if I get a text to say the power is off I can call my sister to investigate. Impressive!
