You could be out of luck, while I have seen them both ways, on some ADT
panels the phone number cannot be changed.

Find a Vista 20ps or a First Alert 168CPS and use the paging feature -
it still won't tell your cell phone anything about why its calling you
but its easy and if you ever do decide to be monitored, the paging can
call you for things that aren't sent to the central station.

I got a lot of family who have and codes to my house and I always know
when someone is coming or going.

I'm posting this at about 1845 on Monday March 31st and there is a FA168
on Ebay with 2 hrs left and a top bid of $16.

Good luck...
