Not really.
1  Alarmcos do not make money on service, and you would not be willing to
pay the amount necessary to compensate a decent alarmco to come out and
program your panel to call your cell phone.

3  No alarmco that I know of would waste their time doing it.
4
5  Not to mention, it won't work anyway.
