if it comes to sending text messages I'd recommend two ways:
1. buy gsm modem which you can connect to COM port of your computer and use AT commands on COM port, your modem will act just like any gsm phone it will have it's own phone number and sending messages will be charged according to your phone plan but instead of keybord you'll use AT commands to send messages
2. contact one of your operators and aks for special service, they'll give you manual with protocol specification (most likely Nokia or Motorola) also they'll give you data to connect to their message center: IP  address and IP port, then you can implement protocol and simply push data over internet to operator MC. this method is especially good if you want to send big chunks of messages and it's used in all those special services which adverts you can see on tv.
