Me? No, I have professionally monitored alarm system in my home via dd, and
cellular side channel backup...and soon IP.
And yes, in 25 years of doing biz, and  having installed over 10K alarm
systems, I've only had two attacks on phone lines and those were commercial
sites...and the backup systems worked and we dispatched on the purps.

I suppose your logic is to have your system dial your cell phone...ha! Go
ahead give it a shot...it's your money not mine.
