Do all cell companies have open APIs that allow you to send SMS messages like Twitter does?
Do you have to pay to do this?

A:
Many (most?) mobile companies have email gateways allowing you to send an SMS. For AT&T I believe it's [email protected], but each provider will have a different address.

This wikipedia article summaries it pretty well. Some cell companies have easy formats. For example, Verizon uses [email protected].

It depends what country you're in. In the UK to pay to send - receiving is free.

Take a look at messagepub. They provide an easy API so that you can send SMS messages from your application.

If you want a reliable solution then yes you will have to pay for it, there are some limited free versions.
