Anybody know if I can set up my current system with a sim card that will text if the alarm goes off?

What kind of system do you have installed? If it's their newer control panel (branded PhoneWatch on the front, with camera PIRs) then it's a closed protocol and PhoneWatch have pretty much locked it down and your only option is to use whatever option PhoneWatch give you. If it's their new panel and they call you, you may be able to use the app to check the system.
