This isn't an iPhone developers conference, the answer is very rarely
"there's an app for that". The chance of that being integrated with ISP
phone systems is slim to none.

Email works. When it doesn't IRC works. It has done for a decade, it will
for the next decade. Yes, even when the 200 people post to Outages saying
"XYZ is down for me, anyone else" or the far more annoying "can someone
from XYZ contact me offlist" posts to NANOG.
