It takes ~ 7 minutes from the time Nagios sends an email sms to AT&T to the time it hits my phone. I'm using @mobile.mycingular.com because mmode.com stopped working (which results in at least two txt pages vs. the one I was used to).

I'm beginning to think it is!

Any place I've worked thats used sms alerting has ended up using either sms-tools (http://smstools.meinemullemaus.de/) or gnokki (www.gnokii.org) with a bit of scripting to send the sms ourselves.
