I finally found the perfect solution for me:http://www.amazon.com/La-Crosse-D111-101-E1-WGB-Wireless-Monitor/dp/B0081UR76G/ref=dp_ob_title_def The device is $69, plus $10/month for alerts. And I get to monitor the temperature online, which is a great bonus.
Working on the assumption that you already have internet access at the property in question, I do wonder whether you might be better off with something network-based rather than phone based. You should be able to pick up a network temperature sensor relatively inexpensively, which you could in turn use to fire HTTP requests to a server under your control (even if it's at your home). You could then store temperature stats in a database and set up your own triggers to <do something> as and when they drop below a certain threshold.
In my $dayjob I've set up a number of similar systems at bird hides in various national parks/wetlands here in the UK for similar purposes (with the addition of the ability to pull off CCTV images). These are running programmable ICs which make a simple HTTP call to a webserver running SQL over a 3G data SIM every hour. I doubt it'd be difficult for you to knock up something similar for your property.
