It depends on your carrier. In the US, AT&T and VZ are discontinuing this. Overall I lean to using Conversations on Android or Monal on iOS, an xmpp server, and net/py-xmpppy to send. But that's a lot of setup. See also ntfy, which I think can do the phone part, and is callable with wget/curl. You can also just email.
