I'd be surprised if you can run visual basic on Unix. But you will need a Microsoft expert to be sure.
Yes, cron can run a script once a minute.
To unix, the sms is just a mail message. It will get passed from computer to computer until it reaches your phone companies computer. Only then does it become sms in a true sense. And mail is seldom treated as a high priority. Your local computer will try to contact your local mailhost. If your mailhost is too busy, it will reject the connection. Then your local computer will just queue the mail. One an hour or once a half hour, your computer will try to send stuff in the queue. It typically will take days before it gives up and returns the mail to sender. You can adjust your own settings. But you cannot adjust everyone else's. Mail really should not be used for emergencies.
When I use sms, it is for messages like "part 2 of the big rsync job is done". As long as the messages arrive, I know that my job is progressing. If a message is overdue, then I can check the status.
