Who else will call a POTS phone line when there's an alert?

Fact: I'm not going to hear my phone ping in the middle of the night. I'm much more likely to hear my phone ring.

Depending on the team, a phone tree in twilio could do the trick, with calls made down the list if people do not pick up for escalation.
What happens when Twilio is down? Same questions for your email, sms and server. Part of the difficulty is guaranteed uptime and PagerDuty is rock solid in that regards.
Pager Duty uses Twilio.
Calling landline is table stakes for all “paging as a service” companies.
