Does hobbit-mailack recognize replies from alerts sent using the SMS format? I havn't tested it but taking a peek at the hobbit-mailack.c, I see:
 /* No subject ? No deal */
       if (subjectline == NULL) {
               dbgprintf("Subject-line not found\n");
               return 1;
       }
So this leads me to believe that it is not possible to ack alerts from a cellphone or pager, if the alert was sent using "format=SMS", which does not send messages with a subject.

Dont quote me but from memory it was rewritten to allow a mailack without a subject as it was myself that was having issues with acking an alert via an sms to email program which of course didn't have a subject

I think it ended up being included into the main codestream and wasnt just a patch for me as Henrik thought it was a good addition :)
