Asif,

Yes SMS receive/send on pstn works on asterisk.
To receive/send sms's from other providers you need either your provider
to support pstn sms (or a provider that supports the service), in which
case you register your pstn numbers with their SMSC , or you became an
SMSC yourself.
The second option requires and agreement with a mobile operator 
Basically what this does is adds your numbers to the list of "accepted"
numbers the provider receives sms for, and so others know were to route
the sms they get from their customers.
The rest of the path to/from asterisk to your endpoints is dialplan/agi
"magic" which is case specific.

Contact me off-list for more details.
