How do I send a text message to a contact

The main admin contact allows you to set a phone number and cell carrier to send an email to text message to a phone. I need to add a second email to text as a contact but there is no way to select a carrier in the contact form. How can I set up a contact to get a text using a email to text? I know I can set it up as an email but that will use the email template which I can't use due to a 35 character limit at this provider.

Have you read this document?
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf
Nagios XI extends the notification capabilities of Nagios Core, and because of this it requires that contacts objects get created when creating users through Admin > Users > Manage Users.
NOTE: Any notification preferences should be defined while logged on as that user by clicking on their name in the top right corner. You can use the masquerade icon (eyeball) to log in as that user.
Here is a document that explains the XI Contact relationship:

Does this help?
