have had same sysstem for 15 years--is connected to landline (Windstream) which is never used and sometimes goes down & we dont know--so if we had an issue, fire, breakin, and landline wasnt working, the signal wouldnt be received by the monitoring station; my installer says he can install a box $200 that would utilize our iphone for sending signal & we could do away with land line; the issue is: im paying $15 monthly now--with the new system it goes uo to $35 monthly ; i will be saving money by cancelling land line buy going up $20/month for monitoring
any suggestions?

Do you have internet at your place? There are some systems (Arlo, SimplySafe, etc.) that don't require a landline but do require internet. And if you want notification to police and fire that may cost extra. Not sure as I have Arlo system and get the notifications on my cell phone.

Arlo works great when power and internet are live. What is good method to handle power outages?
We had this discussion some time back and I concluded that my deer camera with a solar battery was the best answer, but I still have that camera looking for deer

Yeah, that is a problem with all those systems and one of the advantages of a traditional systems with back up batteries.
