Now I can send SMS' as the nagios user from the command line to my mobile, using sendsms xxxxxxxxxx test.
If I try to send using the command: /usr/local/bin/sendsms $PAGER$ "Nagios: Service $SERVICEDESC$ on $HOSTALIAS$ is in state: $SERVICESTATE$"
Nothing happens, the command doesn't create an error, so I guess it might be my contacts.cfg's $PAGER$ which are causing my problem now??

Have a short look at /var/spool/sms, which user owns the directories? Simply
add the nagios user to the group which owns these directories. (Don't know which Distribution you're using, so it could be differ from distribution to
distribution)
