True that our "calling" service doesn't tell you what the problem is - for that we still need to reach a computer , but the main issue is that we are awake ( or mostly awake) and actually aware that there is a problem . in order for this to work you'll have to have asterisk running (Duh) and able to dial out . then you need to configure an extension ( * see asterisk documentation ) and allow access to the asterisk form the nagios (in the manager.conf file *) . As for the different messages - that is something you can try and play with - either with festival like other recommended or via sending parameters to the asterisk .
