PLUS 1 for Nagios and there are some apps coming about for it on the
android.
We have a company that is working on an app for us and the customers as
you mentioned to do just that.
regardless of the APP you still need a good monitoring server running to
interface with the APP.
There are some Free options out there and there are some great $$$$ ones
too.

"Emails from Cacti don't count" - cacti is not an up/down monitoring
system, it's a charting system... Any threshold alerting plugins that
might be available are just a bonus.
Use something like OpenNMS or Nagios.

What I really want is an integrated system that isn't stuck in the
90's.
I want the customer to have an app on their phone that tells them
when their network is having issues and why.
I want it to also remind them to pay their bill and provide a
lazy/easy way to do that.
I want that same system to have an engineer app that tells us when
nodes fail and why.
So if a node goes down and it's important, it should show up on my
phone and I can take action.
One of those actions would be to message to outage impacted
customers the ETA to fix etc.
Emails from Cacti don't count.
