I just saw something in the local paper that might work. Check out
www.eatonelectric.com.. It's a new product coming out this summer called
Home Heartbeat.

nice product but it uses a phone line to call you....
I was thinking about a vhf radio with a pre recorded message
or some such nonsense provided I could use a Public band that
permitted such messages without freaking out the FCC. However,
since I believe broadcasting pre recorded stuff on the airwave
necessitates a radio station license... the cell phone might be
the way to go. prepaid cell phones are about 10 bucks a month to keep
in service.
