smstools3 is just a fork of smstools, which won't be receiving updates; 
functionally, they're the same.

I'm using smstools3 with the following notification commands:

# 'notify-host-by-sms' command definition
define command{
         command_name    notify-host-by-sms
         command_line    /usr/local/bin/sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ "** 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **"
         }

# 'notify-service-by-sms' command definition
define command{
         command_name    notify-service-by-sms
         command_line    /usr/local/bin/sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ "** 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **"
         }

I can't answer your compatibility question, but if you have problems 
with it, the Moxa OnCell G2100 
(http://www.moxa.com/product/OnCell_G2100_Series.htm) has been 
absolutely rock solid.
