Low power home UPS

I'm looking for a UPS device I can plug into my home router that has just enough power/smarts to send an email or SMS message before it dies and another one when power is restored. There are a few home alarm systems that will use cell service to send text but they seem to be add-on components to alarm systems and generally don't support Canadian cell providers (even presuming there wasn't a monthly fee).

Seems like something that could be built cheap.

Thanks

how about a traditional UPS and smart outlet or plug? plug the router into the UPS and the UPS into a smart outlet or plug. when you lose commercial power the router stays up via the UPS and the smart plug/outlet sends a text or email.
