We make heavy use of PagerDuty (PD) and are quite fond of it. It is worth
the price, especially on smaller teams (larger ones need to negotiate
better rates, but I digress).

There is an open source project that might do what you need:

https://github.com/ustream/openduty

Among the PD killer features: push notifications, visual representation of
schedule, easy override notifications, the iOS & Android apps (ability to
see what are open issues / ack or escalate or reassign or resolve ).

It is not perfect but is a heck of a lot better than having to think about
this stuff.
