Alarm outcall to cell phones via call pilot

Here's what I need to do in a short period of time. I have a dialer hooked up to a alarm system. When the line of sight is interrupted, the alarm triggers the dialer, which then calls 2 separate cell phones until one is answered. The dialer then plays a burglery in progress message. The dialer works alright, but now they want to add additional numbers to be dialed. What I would like to do is create a application in Call Pilot for the dialout numbers. So when the alarm is triggered, it would dial the call pilot DN, and perhaps hit a application that would outcall to 3 or 4 cell phones, and play the burglery in progress message. Anyone have any ideas or configurations like this? Thanks in advance.
 
1. Have the dialer call a couple of phantom mailboxes and record the "burglary in progress" as a message.

2. Set those mailboxes to remote notify the cell #'s you want called.
 
I ended up doing this in Meridian Mail, so I could use 1 mailbox, and have it call out to multiple cell phones. That way, if the first number called responds, then the other two don't even get notified. Seems to be working allright.
