If you got a letter from Cox saying your Homelife security service is ending, you’re not alone. Cox has shut down its Homelife home security division, and thousands of Oklahoma homeowners are finding out their alarm systems are about to go unmonitored — or already have.
The good news: losing Cox Homelife does not mean losing your security system. In most cases, the equipment already in your home can be switched over to a new monitoring company. Here’s what Cox customers in Oklahoma need to know.
What Happened to Cox Homelife?
Cox decided to exit the home security business and terminated the Homelife division. For customers, that means the monitoring contract ends, the app stops being supported, and — most importantly — when your alarm goes off, nobody is on the other end to verify it and dispatch police or fire.
An unmonitored alarm is little more than a noise maker. If your Cox service has ended or is about to, the time to line up a new monitoring provider is now, before there’s a gap in your protection.
The Good News: Your Equipment May Still Work
Here’s what most Cox customers don’t realize: the panel, door and window sensors, motion detectors, and cameras installed in your home usually don’t belong to Cox’s network — they’re standard security equipment. A local security company can often test your existing system, replace the communication module if needed, and put it on professional 24/7 monitoring without ripping out and replacing everything.
That means a switch is usually faster and far cheaper than starting over. The only way to know for sure is a quick evaluation of what you have — which we do free.
How Switching to Globelink Works
Globelink Security Systems is a local Oklahoma company (Oklahoma License #795), and we’ve been helping Cox Homelife customers across the Oklahoma City metro make the switch. The process is simple:
First, we look at what Cox installed — panel type, sensors, cameras — and test what’s working. Next, we connect your system to our monitoring, with cellular backup so it keeps reporting even if your internet or power goes out. Then we set you up on a modern app so you can arm, disarm, and check your home from your phone. And we walk you through everything before we leave, so you’re never guessing how your own system works.
Our monitoring plans start at $12.99/month, with no long-term contract required. You’ll know your exact price before we start — no surprises, no activation games.
Why Cox Customers Are Choosing a Local Company
A lot of former Homelife customers tell us the same thing: they never liked dealing with a cable company’s 1-800 number for something as important as their family’s safety. With Globelink, when you call, you reach a local Oklahoma company that serves Edmond, Oklahoma City, Moore, Norman, Yukon, Midwest City, and the surrounding metro. We install it, we service it, and we stand behind it.
Don’t Let Your Coverage Lapse
If your Cox Homelife service has already ended, your home may be unprotected right now without you realizing it. If it’s ending soon, getting on the schedule early avoids a gap.
