You cant send messages directly through asp.net.

What you can do is send a web request or an email to an online SMS provider,
or to a local gateway (like a phone) and it can then pass the message onto
the GSM network.

Try Clickatell to get an idea of what I mean.

SMS gateway

Hi,

You can also send SMS by using an SMS gateway/server software. For example Ozeki softwares work with asp.net with c#.net application.
This is a standalone gateway, that can be installed on a PC and it simplifies most of the tasks when you want to create such a solution. You also need a GSM modem or an IP connection to get connected to the SMS service provider.
