Teleflip.com is a free service that does all the service provider
translations for you;
all you need is the recipient's cell phone number and an email to

<phonenumber>@teleflip.com

See here:

To send SMS Programmatically, you need a gateway, and that costs $$.

There are no native libraries for doing SMS, and each SMSC (the place you
send an SMS too) has rules about which country it can legally send to, and
the different costs.

Basically, a SMS from code is typically an http request, or an email to the
SMSC gateways web interface, unless you have a mobile phone attached to your
PC, or a SMS device and software like http://www.nowsms.com/ to pipe
messages onto the GSM network.

We are located in another country, but I think we can use GPRS to send SMS.
But we want to know how to send texts to GPRS gateway and then it send as SMS.

Gateways are either a mobile phone attached to your PC via cable or serial
port (like a Nokia 30
http://www.mobiledatadirect.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/602) (or PCI
GSM card) or a remote provider like a local telco with a gateway accessible
over HTTP.

Find an SMS provider in your country with an http interface and setup and
account with them, then work out what your HTTP request needs to be to send
messages through them. Let them worry about the gateway, yuo only need to
worry about the interface to it - and the cost of course.
