Can't do it. I programmed mine to call my cell phone number (just put my number in in-place of the central station number). The NX8 can't speak, so I simply get a call and I can see from caller id that it is from my home so I know the alarm sounded. Unfortunately I believe that's the best that the NX8 panel can do by itself. I am close to getting an HAI panel to replace my NX8. You could add a PC and software like homeseer to the panel to get email notification, but that requires an always-on PC on site. If anyone else knows something that I am missing about the NX8, please chime in.
