Sounds like what you want is an e-mail to SMS gateway.  There are
several scripts in the ports for generating SMSes from the command line,
which you should be able to make use of.  You'll need to choose
something appropriate for your area.

Otherwise you're looking at proprietary software as used by the likes of
Blackberry.
