This brings back memories.
I remember a Perl guy who had a habit of filling
up the Inbox of anybody he took a disliking to.
For some unknown reason he took a disliking to
me - imagine that :-) I had to write a script,
not Perl as I recall, that signed on the modem
every 15 minutes, downloaded the e-mails, and threw
away all his e-mails. That went on for about a week
and then he finally quit when it never filled up.

In days long past, I wrote code to interact with modems, including
dialing and connecting via SLIP or PPP, but also to send audio messages.
Unfortunately it was on Windows and at a previous employer so I no
longer have access to the code, and I do not remember the details.
Modem work is definitely doable but so old it may not have stack
overflow help for you.

Twilio supports this service. I don't know their rates but they
are very competitive on SMS rates. I wrote a Twilio SMS driver on
CPAN.
If you have hardware like a RAS (e.g. Patton) you might be able to
do something without the middleman service but I doubt it would be
as cheap as what Twilio provides.
I looked into doing something like this over a modem at one
time but it did not seem possible.
