Alertra are way too expensive (seriously) and from what I've seen generate their fair share of false positives despite their fancy multi-location testing.

Put Nagios (or a nagios sensor) on an off-net box and plug something like Kewlio's SMS service (relatively easy to do by modifying the 'pager' notify method in nagios) in if you want SMS alerts from monitoring.
