Hmmm....usually, sending SMS messages to a mobile phone just requires
sending a (very) short email to a particular email address, typically <phone
number>@<carrier's gateway>. For instance, sending a message to someone on
pacbell is something like: 8005551212 at pacbell.net. Some carriers use a
slightly different format for the phone number portion.
You should be able to find a list of formats/gateways with some clever
googling.
