Probably not one tutorials to show you how to do all that, you probably have to look at lots of php tutorials and piece it together to make it happen.

Don’t quote me, but I think an SMSing service is something you pay for. I looked into it for about 5 minutes one day and I’m pretty sure that was the reason I moved on without it.

If you know the carrier you can just add the 10 digit number to their suffix and send it as an email and you’ll be golden. For instance t-mobile is ##########@tmomail.net and verizon is ##########@vtext.net etc. Of course the recipient will be charged for the text message.
