I'm not well informed, but it appears that you need to (at a minimum)
provide some sort of interface to connect to a hardware interface for this
process. Google "ETSI ES 201 912".

Having looked at Flowroute, they don't appear to mention SMS anywhere on
their website, so I am going to go out on a limb and say that they will not
provide what you need to send an SMS.
