Have them use a decent phone ?? Sorry couldn't resist ..
But more to the point .. i encountered a similar issue with nagios texts (alerts) not waking up the receiver of the alert , what we did was switch from alert in text format to nagios contacting our VOIP server and initiate a call to the contact defined and use a Text-To-Speech to generate the "call " . Most people will wake up when a phone cal comes it , and i suspect that the iPhone ring tone is loud enough .
