Even though this thread has been beaten to death, here is an answer.

Yes you can "probably" get the system changed to a local... IF you can find
someone to work on it. where are you by the way?

No you cannot have it call your cell and get anything meaningful from it.
all you would hear is a bunch of beeps and noise. you would have to add a
voice dialer as someone else mentioned. (i would give proper credit if i
could figure who is who anymore. JEEZ)
