Have you run the newaliases command to update aliases.db? Also, it
should be +63..., not +063...

What error do you get? By the way, for Nagios I recommend having Nagios
run sendsms instead of sending an email to an alias. This allows you to
have the usual, comprehensive email report, and separate condensed text
versions.
This is how I implemented it:
# 'notify-by-sms' command definition
define command {
command_name notify-by-sms
command_line /usr/local/bin/sendsms $CONTACTEMAIL$
'$HOSTALIAS$ ($HOSTADDRESS$)\n$SERVICESTATE$ for
$SERVICEDURATION$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$'
}
# 'host-notify-by-sms' command definition
define command{
command_name host-notify-by-sms
command_line /usr/local/bin/sendsms $CONTACTEMAIL$
'$HOSTALIAS$ ($HOSTADDRESS$)\n$HOSTSTATE$ for
$HOSTDURATION$\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$'
}
Cheers!
