What we've done in the past for this is a few steps:

1. Create a softphone (lots of libraries around)
2. Sign up to some SMS gateway (Clickatel etc)
3. Create a PHP (or whatever) backend page to authenticate/send/receive 
messages
4. Poll a received messages page periodically from the sofphone

So, send a message from softphone to an account on another softphone and 
you store it in the DB until the destination polls for it at which time 
you display it.

If the destination is not the account of another softphone user then:

1. Check user's credit
2. Send SMS via gateway
3. Provide response codes (sent/not sent etc) and charge customers account
