Remote Notification system for when my router changes the WAN IP

Is there a way to get a notification, something like an email to self or something, that alerts me when my modem/router changes the IP it gets from the ISP?

Any ideas on how to implement this? Might be a feature in the router, but I don't recall seeing it.

It depends by router brand. Netgear and similar got web management like that. Cheapers, not.
Go to manufacturer site and download full pdf user manual

Mine has some kind of basic notification system, but it's something I'll need to research and experiment on. I'll get the manual, thanks.

Any other idea on how to do it if it's not supported natively? (I mean the event of WAN IP changing)
