Alternatively:

I don't like relying on my networking infrastructure for my freeze alarm notification and so I took a different approach.

I added a phone to my Verizon cellular plan ($10/month) and installed a bluetooth/POTs bridge. The freeze alarm communicates via POTs to the bridge and the bridge communicates via bluetooth to the cell phone. I have the whole thing on a UPS and it will run for weeks in the event of a power outage. The whole setup was less than $100.
