Each cell phone provider (att, t-mobile...) has a free url for sending SMS messages. I’ve been using these for years. Some providers use a different URL for small texts vs larger texts (even images), so pick the right url.
Messages are usually delivered in a few seconds, but there have been rare delays of minutes to hours, presumably b/c cell towers fail, or the phone is out of range.
