I added asterisk and a cheap X100P card to my Nagios setup.  Now I
can get a voice call if things are really bad.

I started to install some text-to-speech tools also, but got depressed
by all the additional ports that were coming along for the ride.
So for now it just plays a prerecorded message: "go check nagios!"
