Precisely what you need to do depends on who your phone company is. It
is frequently done by sending e-mail to an SMS gateway. There are
various ports designed to enable scripting of sending SMS-es to
particular providers -- see comms/p5-SMS-Send-*
If you have a GSM modem or mobile, there are about 4 or 5 ports you
could choose from. Just do a 'make search name=sms' in /usr/ports.
No idea about leaving a voice message -- doing voice synthesis is pretty
well covered, but making a computer dial a phone and speak into it?
Cheers,
Matthew

Hi all,
I use gsmsmsd from ports and a wavecom GSM modem on a
serial port for my "embedded monitor" systems...
It works very well, with a bit of SNMP / .sh / awk scripting.
It can also work with a number of mobile phones that have a serial link.
Typical send / receive rate is 1 message / 7 seconds due to cell
negotiation for each message being sent.
Or I go "full power" on main servers and use kannel from ports and a
Telco SMPP service.
Send / receive rates are 30 messages / second
