Convert Alarm System to Cellular

I'm seriously considering pulling the plug on my land line and the only thing holding me back is the fact that my alarm system won't work with VoIP. Anybody have any experience with converting? Do I need to replace the entire alarm box or is there some sort of cellular adapter? Also, does the alarm company charge more for monitoring when it's over cell phone?

Alarm company charges more. It's basically the same price as eliminating the phone line.
Called Cox to tell them I was contemplating making the switch and they have an unadvertised phone plan that's a flat $9.99/mo that allows 30min of outbound calls a month. Considering the only thing it's used for is the alarm, I went with it.

It's more expensive, and if someone is cutting the phone lines to get you, they are pretty committed IMO.

i charge 6.00 more a month for monitoring and thats what telguard charges me a month for their service. You can pretty much use any alarm control panel its basically just takes place of landline. Very simple installation.

I pay ADT $20 a month for cellular monitoring. Another local texas company was offering $18 month and $80 for them to come install the cellular thing.
