Going to cellular monitoring communication eliminates any possible Obi issues or the cutting or tampering with your telco line.
True simplicity is better but nothing is tamper proof. Cellular tech is pretty simple to disable. Cell jammers can be bought fairly cheap. I assume the alarm already has battery backup of it's own. If I were to use VOIP for an alarm I would be primarily concerned about battery backup for the VOIP/internet equipment.

This is not the movies. The likelihood of men in black going around breaking into houses with a cell phone jammer is about as likely as the Cubs winning the world series. The large majority of residential crime is perpetrated by idiots and drug addicts, not geniuses from the TV show "Person of Interest."

You always know how to get me going. Let me rephrase so I can get my point across.
Cellular provides no additional security in the form of tamper protection. Money would be better spent on something more practical. It's far more likely that a house becomes a target of opportunity because of a random power outage. Consider battery backup for the Obi and all related internet equipment if you haven't already.

Even though I agree with you it is very unlikely I had to post this anyway.

Great!
To plug the venerability due to OBI with my security panel I can
Simple: Turn off AA.
Refined: Block "#" from AA to go to the line.
I will look for help in the setup thread. (azrobert?)
The search/discussion on what would be an ultimate super secure system is a never ending discussion.
