Check out qpage:

http://www.qpage.org/

(forgive the wrapping below)
# notify-by-qpage command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-qpage
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "Service: %s\nHost: %s\nAddress:
%s\nState: %s\nInfo: %s\nDate: %s" '$SERVICEDESC$' '$HOSTNAME$'
'$HOSTADDRESS$' '$SERVICESTATE$' '$OUTPUT$' '$DATETIME$' |
/usr/local/bin/qpage -l 0 -p $CONTACTPAGER$
        }

# host-notify-by-qpage command definition
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-qpage
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "Host '%s' is %s\nInfo: %s\nTime:
%s" '$HOSTALIAS$' '$HOSTSTATE$' '$OUTPUT$' '$DATETIME$'b|
/usr/local/bin/qpage -l 0 -p $CONTACTPAGER$
        }
