You COULD buy an GSM modem, insert a sim and place it in your server. Then you could use some CLI program to send SMSs with it. But there are a lot of drawbacks to this, one of them is that in most computer rooms mobile phones (and also your SMS modem) would not have great connection. Another is that these things are most of the time really slow.
I would encourage you to look into an E-mail to SMS gateway solution. There are lots of these available on the Internet, just google for it. Then you could just use the regular e-mail notification, you would only need to add a few extra bits n pieces for the number of the cell phone you'd be sending to.

Hi Roger, AFAIK, there're two ways of sending SMS from a computer to mobile phones. One is send a email contains SMS to a gateway then the gateway would help to deliver to the cell phone. The other is to use a CLI program to transfer with parameters specified. But I think the second one would be better, wouldn't it?
