1. A wireless security system comprising:
- (a) a portable alarm device having a housing which comprises;
(i) a plurality of sensors;
(ii) a first point-to-point radio transceiver for short-range data communication using a wireless protocol; and
(iii) a battery; and
(b) a personal communication device having a housing that comprises;
(i) a second point-to-point radio transceiver for short-range data communication using a wireless protocol, wherein the second point-to-point radio transceiver can be paired to the first point-to-point radio transceiver;
(ii) circuitry for wireless data communication over a switched telephone network; and
(iii) a battery,wherein the portable alarm device can transmit a signal indicating an alarm condition to the personal communication device using the first point-to-point radio transceiver when one or more of the plurality of sensors is activated, and wherein the personal communication device can transmit a further signal indicating the alarm condition over the switched telephone network.
