Last time I checked (4-5 months ago) there was still no native API for doing this via Google's services. So, you are left with two options:
1) use the "sms to email gateway" approach whereby you construct an email address from the user's phone number and carrier info; eg. [email protected] and send it as an email message. 2) use a 3rd party SMS gateway server such as www.clickatell.com. There are a bunch of providers of this type of service and they will typically have HTTPS APIs that you can call from your GAE code. The advantage of 1 over 2 is that 1 is free while 2 will cost you some number of pennies per message (I think clickatell costs $0.03 per message). The advantage of 2 over 1 is that you get guaranteed delivery and you don't have to deal with the hassle of creating the email address... you only need to know the user's wireless number. With phone number portability the sms/email approach can be a hassle and unreliable. I chose approch number 2 in my app. Good luck.
