Hi there,
there is a new and powerfull service to push messages on android an ios. Do you know pushover.net ?
I use this with uptimerobot.com, i use it from scripts. I can send mails trough sendEmail.pl, a standalone smtp mail client with whatever i want from bash scripts. The API of pushover.net is superb. It works perfectly. SMS and other messengers oder pagers are obsolete for me.
For monitoring the network itself, i use uptimerobot. Later in time, when VPN connections are setup, i will monitor the reachability of internal hosts from outside to.

Just one more idea. If you want to push out messages from inner network to the web without relying on a working internet connection, why don't you setup a mobile gateway? All you need is a 3G/LTE Router and a SIM card.

The whole point of gnokii is to alert without relying on your network, the object you're monitoring.
You wouldn't want to not get alerted because your network was no longer able to reach the outside world, and thus the SMS gateway service, would you?
Personally, I'd normally alert 99% through email, and a few network-related things via SMS.

PagerDuty is good.
gnokii is very 1998 from my perspective, and a complete and utter waste of time in 2014, particularly given it's reliance on a single point of failure and reception issues.
There is a bazillion email to SMS gateway services available these days, at very low cost, and almost certainly local options in Poland if that's a concern. The commercial services generally have direct access to carrier SMPP gateways.
Why not just use one of those?
If there was going to be any explicit SMS alerting added I'd be voting for use of simple HTTP GET/POST and/or REST API's.
e.g. Here's a free one to test with,
Here's examples of commercial options,

Thanks for the answers. It would be really nice to have properly working ‚subsystem’ to alerting through SMS - is there any perspectives in the future for that? :)
For now, I slightly modified includes/alerting/email.inc.php by adding curl to pass variable $title to the API, just below „$status = $mail->send($rcpts, $headers, $body);”. Title is enough, because it contains the most important information. :)
It’s OK until I have the same sysContact everywhere and want to send SMS to the same number. :)

I have hacked in support for PagerDuty. The alerting system has the beginnings to support multiple alerting mechanisms, so adding another alerting mechanism wasn't all that hard. That being said there is some refactoring of code that would be useful to avoid duplication of some of the code. I can share the patches that I have made so far, but it is still work in progress.

Hi Gabriel,
At the moment we /only/ do notification via email.

Hello,
Is there any chance to send through a gnokii an alert triggered by the alert checkers? There is something about gnokii commented out in alerts.php, but I’m not sure if it should work?
