While it's somewhat of a hack, I add information like that to either the
service_description (if it's a service) or the alias (if it's a host).  Ie,
one of my hosts:

alias                    DS1 to UUNET - CKT ID XXXXXX - Call 888-xxx-xxxx

If the service or host alerts, the responsible parties have everything
they need in the page to call in to the provider, as well as the circuit
ID.  Remember to keep it short if possible - some providers don't allow
very many characters in pages.

HTH,

Benny
