Hello,

If the Phone Notification system you are thinking of is being used to
call patrons automatically and announce Hold available, Overdue, and
fines then there is a solution called TM3 from TalkingTech.  We've been
using them with Symphony and they've indicated they're compatible with
Koha will work directly with us when we migrate to Koha.
