http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/notifications.html
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#contact
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#contactgroup
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#service

To send a regular e-mail:

1. You need to create a command that will send an e-mail (with the 
relevant host/service information and states.)
2. You need to create a contact to receive the e-mail, and assign that 
contact to a contact group.
3. You need to configure the contact to use your command created in (1) 
for host and service notifications.
4. You need to set the notification group of your host/service to the 
contact group you created in (2).
5. You need to set any additional options for the notification.

To send an SMS:

You need an e-mail-to-SMS provider (www.aql.com, www.textanywhere.net 
etc) who will give you an e-mail such as 
<your_mobile_number>@smsprovider.com.
You need to use that e-mail address in your contact definition.
