The count is given as an argument to the voicemailnotify program. I just
have this in voicemail.conf...

	externnotify=/etc/asterisk/voicemailnotify.sh

... and a trivial shell script which does something like this...

	#!/bin/sh

	logger voicemail $@

	MOBILE_NR=07976xxxxxxx

	if [ "$3" = "0" ]; then
	        smsq --dcs=0xc0 $MOBILE_NR ""
	else
	        smsq --dcs=0xc8 $MOBILE_NR ""
	fi

I've hardcoded the phone number but the mailbox identity is in $2 when
the script is invoked, so it wouldn't be hard to look it up from a
table.
