I do something like this to send me text messages when long-running 
tasks are done.

I would love to have something that gets sent to my phone system, which 
in turn calls my cell phone to actually tell me that it is done doing 
something... don't get me wrong, the phone-call-as-notification idea is 
cool, too, but it'd be nice to be able to have your call say something, 
even if it were limited to digits or prerecorded snippets.  "Job 1212 is 
done," for example.
