Some telcos support sending SMS down phone lines, it's reasonably common
in Europe and there's an ETSI spec for it.

However it's probably easier to use something like Kannel which has an
http interface and then either connect that to an SMSC or locally
through a GSM terminal (phone).

SMSC connections and pricing will vary depending on what country you're
in. As a small customer (in the UK at least) it's unlikely you'd get an
connection to an operator's SMSC and you'd have to go through an
aggregator.
