I presently have an old Safe House wired security system. The burglar alarm outputs are N.O. rated at 12V, 3 amp max. I am currently using a Radio Shack auto dialer to dial three telephone numbers with a prerecorded voice message alerting the police, a neighbor and myself of a problem at my residence.
I would like to do away with my landline telephone service since we use our cell phones all the time now.

What would be the best replacement for my auto dialer that would work on my present cellular provider Sprint?

Thanks for the reply. I am surprised there is such a limited number of solutions.

Nearly all cellular based dialer systems are designed to report via a dedicated monitoring network like AlarmNet, or Uplink. Until recently, cell dialers were pretty much only used for backup communication in relatively high security intallations (jewelry shops, banks, convenience store chains, and other high crime targets).

Basically, there hasn't been a lot of demand at the residential/DIY market.
