I was thinking of something similar, and decided not to mention it.  
Aren't SMS's far too expensive to do that way? I inferred from his  
message that he was going to offer some sort of service, and wanted to  
be able send out thousands of SMS's a day. Not only would any of the 3  
cell phone company's rates here be too high to stay in business, but  
they must have some sort of anti spam system which would kick in.

My guess is the only way to do it is to contact the companies directly  
and see what they offer for high volume SMS customers.
