Not sure as I'm going from memory. Webmin had/has a heartbeat monitor plug-in and if memory serves it had a way to notify a phone number, e-mail address etc. I assume it's not that important to be SMS necessarily? Webmin AFAIK is not in Debian anymore; but you can get it upstream or perhaps look at the heartbeat application in Debian to see what it has for remote notification.
