first:
The solutions are sendmail and qmail, you should google as there are lots of info on these on the web.
However.
1. You must have an internet connection and internet account, and a registered SMTP server. If you ISP gave you an email account it is possible you can use their SMTP server. If not, you must register yourself.
2. Make sure you have SMTP port open from your server to internet on your firewall. Some companies may have it blocked.

Second:
Most phone service providers now have an Mail to SMS service (for a fee) so you can send an email as sms using <phone no>@<telco>.com e.g. 9876543@telcom.com Ask your provider
If not there should be local services which provide this service for a fee (usually per message basis)
Finally use a program such as mail2sms and buy a GPRS modem.

The subject is quite big, but if your infrastructure is set up sending an SMS is easy using mailx to say 9876543@telcom.com in your scripts

It is written using dialog and allows to send a text SMS choosing recipients from the phone address book or entering it manually. OPTIONS Available options: [--debug|-D] May bother with more debugging messages. For debugging purpose. --simul[ate], -S Simulation mode. Doesn't really send SMS by phone. Only simulates. For debugging purpose. --forceSMread, -s Forces sendsms to read phonebook from SIM card, and to parse the generated file in order to update the numbers' list (useful only if required to pickup number from the phone's memory). See NOTE. --forceMEread, -m Forces sendsms to read phonebook from phone memory, and to parse the generated file in order to update the numbers' list (useful only if required to pickup number from the phone's memory). See NOTE. --skipgnokiicheck, -K Skip the test of the presence of binary 'gnokii'. (It must be somewhere in your $PATH). It allows you to try this script program, even if you don't have 'gnokii' already. ;) --smsset, --setsms Allows you to preset a SMS message from STDIN. (pipe or input redirection). This message will be proposed on the 'SMS message' field during the program input cycle. --help, -h, /h display this help and exit --version, -V output version information and exit" NOTE: If you require to pickup number from phone's memory (or from SIM card), for the first time, it anyway reads phonebook from your mobile phone.
