I send sms but I always send it as email to the correctly formatted address for the mobile phone provider. I did a little project in VB6 to do exactly what you are asking about. It sends email through the users Outlook, a less than perfect solution.
You could use a dropdown/combo to allow the user to select a provider. Here's the code I'm using to handle the provider:
Now you need to get the phone number and put it on the beginning of the string. Something like this:

Select Case cboProvider
Case "Cingular"
strProvider = "@cingularme.com "
Case "Verizon"
strProvider = "@vtext.com"
Case "AllTel", "AllTell"
strProvider = "@message.AllTel.com"
Case "T-Mobile", "TMobile"
strProvider = "@tmomail.net"
Case "Virgin Mobile", "VirginMobile"
strProvider = "@vmobl.com"
Case "Sprint"
strProvider = "@messaging.sprintpcs.com"
Case "Nextel"
strProvider = "@messaging.nextel.com"
Case "Cellular South", "CellularSouth"
strProvider = "@csouth1.com"
End SelectNow you need to get the phone number and put it on the beginning of the string. Something like this:
strEmailAddress = strPhNumber & strProvider

Search for "Logiccode GSM SMS ActiveX Dll" in google and download the required file.
It is easy to use. Include the reference for this DLL. Create Instance of the objects. Pass on the port name to which your mobile/GSM Modem is connected along with your mobile number, sim card number..then send.
Demo is available in the pack. Try this.
If this works. Kindly acknowledge.
If you find any other answer. Kindly forward it to me too...joshua@abstechlogiks.com
