Even by using an external SMS gateway, I'd still be relying on "some 3rd party network service" so I'm still screwed. I know that Twitter gets a load of crap for being the new "flashy buzzword" thing, however it does have its uses. And since I use the twitter API for a few other projects, I already had most of the pieces of the puzzle so why go reinventing the same puzzle over again just to add to it? I have reviewed Nagios before and know it is definitely a viable application, however it is considerably overkill for what I wanted to do here.

Your monitoring should not rely on some 3rd party network service. Try using something which does monitoring properly, like Nagios. This is possibly the worst way to do it.
