SMS sending and receiving is all part of chan_extra.
When an SMS message comes in, Asterisk sets some channel variables and fires
off
a call to an extension. This can then call an AGI script to do various things
with the message.
Variables that are set include: ${SMSSRC} = the sender's number, ${SMSTXT} =
the message text, ${SMSPDU} = the message PDU as hex digits. You can pass
these as parameters to the AGI script.

I haven't done much hacking in the internals of vTiger; but as it's all web-
based, the chances are the "send SMS" button just calls a CGI script. This
can then issue an Asterisk command to send an SMS message.
All the fun stuff basically is done with external scripts (AGI for Asterisk-
triggered events and CGI for web browser clicks).
