For SMS notifications, setup run states, and define filters which send emails to an SMS gateway which will forward to your mobile. Use different run states, for turning the SMS notifications off and on (NOTE: this feature is currently in the process of being implemented. Until then you will have to have duplicate monitors, one for each runlevel, with one monitor having the SMS assigned to it.).  
Notifications can be set easily if you want alarms emailed whenever an event occurs between a static time, for example between 12AM and 6AM. If you have a situation where you may not want the alarms to send you text messages on occasion, this requires some more footwork.  


A feature in the works would allow you to set filters based on run states, which would mean, you could change the run state at any desired time, and only then would SMS be sent. Until then, you must have duplicate monitors and have the filters activated on only one of them. See resources below.
