Possible alternate solution:

Does your cell phone and/or carrier provide MMS service?

Messages will arrive in a format more similar to email, with more
context, etc.  You still could benefit by rewriting the standard Nagios
alerts (which I find to be rather uninformative), but could avoid other
limitations of SMS (160 character limit, etc.).
