title: Use VBA to call a cellphone
body: <p>About a year ago, a manager in another department brainstormed that I could code up some VBA to auto call me in the event one of my automated reports crashes. I laughed at the time, but my skills have improved considerably and I wonder if it's technically possible</p>
  
  <p>(not that I'd actually do it, mind you.  I like my early Saturday mornings workplace-free).</p>
  
  <p>This would need:<br>
  1. Access to the internet (not a problem)<br>
  2. A means of connecting to some service to place the call, preferably free, lest I cost the company $10 a month (Skype?)<br>
  3. An automated voice (already exists on the standard Access install package)</p>
  
  <p>What do you think?</p>
