Is there a service that calls you (not just SMS) when your server is down?

We're using Pingdom for alerts, but it only alerts by SMS, which we sometimes miss.

  • Yeah, there are a bunch you can plug into an existing monitoring system or use as a monitoring system of their own. Only ones I've seen with a phone call feature are pretty expensive (and a pain in the ass), though. – HopelessN00b Jan 14 '13 at 07:31

    I suspect it's because product and service recommendations are explicitly off-topic, as per the FAQ (which also links to an explanation of why). I'm afraid I'm adding mine. – MadHatter Jan 14 '13 at 11:08

The trick is not trying to find a service which would monitor and call but use a service which would monitor and e-mail. Feed this to a text2speech application capable of handling e-mail and you are done.

Numerous providers for reading mail using phone calls exist, so I suppose you should not have any trouble finding one that would cover your region and fit your needs.
