Have tried various solutions like this - the one I used was from
sms2email.com. The problem with all of these products is that they go from
Email to SMS.... what happens if your Email fails?
I have actually managed to get this smsclient.org solution working by
changing the timeout of the notifications within nagios.cfg

Out of curiosity, have you tried simply sending an email to your
phone/pager/whatever-it-is? For example, a Sprint phone can recieve an SMS
message sent to an email address like 5551234567 at messaging.sprintpcs.com
