Nagios Plugins can communicate using user defined methods:

Nagios is a host/service/network monitoring and management system. It has
the following features:
.
 o  Contact notifications when problems occur and get resolved (via email,
    pager, or user-defined method)
.
So, you can figure out a suitable tool to call up your number and talk
to you, which you can ask nagios to use.

There are plenty of tools that can be used to send SMS. But, not aware
of any tools for calling up, maybe asterisk would help .
