On which platform do you want to use SMS? Using Linux I can recommend 
gnokii-smsd. I use it with the mysql-extension right out of the debian 
repositories.

So I can have one SMS-Server with an old Nokia 6210 connected via RS232 
which handles all the SMS-sending and recieving for the whole net...
