If your monitoring system has reliable IP connectivity, I can recommend
Clickatell.  If not, try one of the cellular modem kludges people have
described.

For my own amusement, I wrote a little hack that takes the voicemail
messages that my VoIP service mails me, extracts a few salient facts
of calling number and message length, and sends me an SMS notification
to my mobile phone so I know to call and pick up my messages.  Works
great.
