We use a (paid) service "Mail to SMS"
Sending it a simple formatted e-mail with text and phone No.

I'll put in my 2cents since I've worked with literally many hundreds of
customers that want to do this.

Find a service online that will do it using API/RESTful calls if you want
to make sure it works. You can use something like GETURI (
www.bvstools.com/geturi.html) or Scott's HTTPAPI to make the call to send
the SMS message.

Even if you know what number and carrier, etc, it doesn't always work, and
I've been hearing of some shutting down those types of services.

Now, if it's not an integral part of your system and you don't care if the
messages may not get there, you can fight with the email to sms options.
But if it's a big part, the money to pay for a service to do this is well
worth it.
