GSM Nobile Car Alarms: A cheaper alternative for guaranteed security against car theft?

We have had interesting arguments on the merits and demerits of installing a GSM car alarm. For those in the dark, this is a relatively new (though not so new globally) anti-theft car alarm system based on mobile phone technology.

And all you need is a SIM card for your car and a mobile phone to "call" the car, sending instructions to the alarm and receiving signals from the alarm. This gives the car owner control of the car, literally anywhere on earth and anytime! The possibilities of such application are wide when compared to other conventional car alarms.

With such a system installed in the vehicle, the alarm will call you on any intrusion, and after receiving such "calls" or signals, then speak and warn the intruders in the car through your mobile phone anywhere via the speaker that comes with the alarm! Imagine telling the car thieves pumbavu! I would love to see their reaction when the car speaks to them. Anyway, the system allows you cut the engine power or fuel supply so that the car is undrivable. You can close the car windows and doors through the mobile phone.

And where emergency hot lines such as the police work, even make calls to the cop station to alert them of the event.

Our argument which never came to it conclusion, was, if given a choice between GSM mobile car alarm systems and TrackIt! Car services for lack of money, where would you place your bet?
