Does anyone has experience with HAI/Leviton Cellular Communication Center (C3)

It uses GSM network though. Actually you don't need any high speed LTE network for this; reliability is the most important criteria. C3 seems to be a better option than using a dedicated landline w/ paid central monitoring. There are mobile plans that cost as low as $6/month or you can bundle it with your existing cell plan as a additional voice-only line; both options turn out to be much cheaper than dedicated landline just for alarm monitoring.
Of course, the other alternative is to use VoIP which unfortunately is only as reliable as your ISP. Any other internet based services has the same drawback due to its dependency with the ISP. Cellular networks seem to be more reliable in metro areas.
Any thoughts?
