Oh I see - you want someone to do the actual coding for you?
Actually its a shell-script wrapper for a chat script.
Perhaps you thought it was complex, and didnt want to reinvent the wheel.
Looking for existing code is often a good idea. But in this case you
can plainly see that it is trivial. To quote from Craig Southeren:
/usr/sbin/chat -v <$DEV > $DEV REPORT CONNECT ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO
DIALTONE' ABORT 'NO CARRIER' '' ATZ OK "\\dATDT${SMS_NUMBER}" CONNECT ''
'QUIT)' "$TARGET\\n" "KEY" "$MSG" "BEING SENT" "ATH" > $DEV < $DEV
ie dialup, then send two lines of text: the number, and message. Its
mind-bogglingly trivial.

Are you sure? It sounded like you wanted to use a POTS dialup SMS gateway.

Perhaps you want to see the code for the chat program?
Why 'C'?
main() { exec( "/usr/sbin/chat", "REPORT", "ATZ", "OZ", ...
