A friend of mine simply hooked up a cellphone using USB and sent SMS using AT commands. Takes a bit of programming, but as cheap as can be.

Sweet idea. Scales well, too, assuming you can find cheap cheap phones with pay as you go data.

You can even get GSM PCI cards that take 1 or more SIM cards. Presumably they exist for the north american system too. You might just want to check the terms of use of the operator, they may prohibit automation on normal tariffs.
