    I doubt that such a script can be easily written, because sending SMS messages requires other things like gateway applications and such..

    SMS is a particular format. I have no real idea how it works.
    Sending is the easy part. It's just an email, right?
    What you need to figure out, though, is the exact format and specifications. What you'll need to find is a technical description of content and figure out how to create this format. You could probably use PHP, somehow, and you might even be able to find a prewritten PHP script or perhaps an extension library that uses this format.

    As I said, I have no clue how it works.
    Look that up on google.
    It'll likely be a highly technical description of a very specific format. But... that's just how it works.

    You can't.

    To send an SMS card, you need to have a SIM card. If you don't have a sim card attached to your computer, well... you can't send an SMS. This is for security reasons (terrorism, bullying etc.)

    You could get a PCI card that lets you plug in an SMS card, which is quite expensive.

    You could also install your phone software, and attempt to write a script in PHP to send an SMS through the software. But, it's not free. You'll still be charged in your bill.

    Hmm... that seems like it might be true.
    It might be possible to access the system, though, considering that many networks use it. So... a new network must have a sim card in order to do it?
    As you said, you might be able to write a script that imitates a card. But you might also then need to make your computer a server.

    Yup. Or a mobile phone connected to the computer.
