Agreed.  Our solution was to have a 2nd Nagios server offsite that 
doesn't do much more then monitor the ability of the main site to talk 
to the external world.  It has a limited list of contacts.

Of course, in our situation, if the public network interface is down... 
my cell phone is probably going to be ringing off the hook already. 
Getting Nagios alerts would be a bit extraneous in that situation.

And for Verizon phones, the contact address is: #########@vtext.com

Although it may be better to have your Verizon users create a "nickname" 
and use that instead (I think you then use: nickname at vtext.com). 
Verizon allows you to disable SMS unless they use your nickname 
identification.
