There are several ways to interface into SMS networks. You can do
this over air via a phone, or via a connection into the networks
SMS-C.
You could install something like Kannel (www.kannel.org) which is
a WAP gateway and an SMS gateway. The SMS part has functionality
to drive various cellular data phones, it can also talk to the
network SMS-C's using various protocols (however you'll need a
connection agreement from the network to use these).
You could also use something like sendpage (sendpage.sourceforge.net)
which implements a TAP (i.e. dial-up) interface into the networks
(and most have a public dial-up number, though generally premium rate).
There are other alternatives like www.qpage.org ...
