If it was me I would have installed a cellular device (which you can pick up dirt cheap and aren't all that complicated to install) in the alarm system so it would send confirmations to my phone. I don't know this girl but if she is dumb enough to openly show her parents she can beat there system she probably isn't smart enough to do this so maybe she had a friend come and do it. It could also be something supremely stupid like a 'forgotten password' feature. Since it's not monitored the owner isn't required to call the service to change it so it would have to be able to be changed in the house. If so she is probably looking on her phone to get whatever the information required is. Just a guess.

Here's where I don't agree with her getting it sent to her by text.... have you hung out with a teenager recently? I have two. They text. It's what they DO. They text unless the phone is put somewhere else. It think it's just hyper-sensitive parents with their tin-foil hats on that notice she looks at her phone. How about take her phone, change the code and watch her phone to see what it does?
Since when did parents get so afraid of what their children think that they won't take one simple thing away? Actually, it isn't even away - it's knowing what's on her phone and what it's doing. I think they are giving her entirely too much credit to have something that dialed in....
