 AA> Which Voip service are you using?

I use https://voip.ms - They're a DIY voip service, so you buy (or port your 
existing) phone numbers and then hook your own ATA up to the service:

Like this one:

Their phone numbers also support SMS & MMS if you're into that sort of thing.

Correct, you'd still need to make sure your both your cable/DSL modem and ATA 
have power for the service to work, so I have them plugged into a UPS which 
gives them power for ~30 minutes.  The alarm system has its own battery that 
lasts much longer than that, but our power outages are few & far between and 
don't generally last that long.
