 How can I have notifications sent to an alphanumeric pager? 
 
There are two ways you can do this. 

If your paging company has an email-pager gateway, you can simply have
Nagios send an email message to your pager address. An example of this
type of address might look like: pageme at somepagingcompany.com. 

You should note that sending notifications through email might fail if
SMTP or DNS services are down or if your connection to the greater
Internet is down. An alternative to sending pager messages through an
email gateway would be to hook a modem up to your monitoring host and
have Nagios dial out through the modem and send the message using the
TAP (IXO) protocol. There are several programs that can do this for you
on *NIX systems. Two popular ones seem to be Sendpage
<http://www.sendpage.org/>  and QuickPage <http://www.qpage.org/> .

Is there a way to make Nagios send text messages to a cell phone?
