If you need to send SMS I highly suggest integrating Twilio to your site. Another one I have used is Nexmo. Either one can be integrated really pretty easily and only takes a short while. Plivo is another one I have heard about, but I know nothing about them.
You do not yourself need to be a SMS Gateway, in fact it is a royal pain, just use a quality service and integrate it. It does have a small nominal cost per SMS message, which you can see on each website.
Twilio provides libraries to integrate for common languages like node, Ruby, Java etc.

Your welcome. I really like Twilio, they are good to work with and their API is really pretty easy and only takes a small amount of effort to get setup. Good luck!
