Are you talking about connecting to the mobile SMS
systems, or are you talking about having a SMS type
system for Asterisk?

For the former, the easiest way to do this is to just
connect via an email hub. Most operators have
email-SMS gateways, where you can send email to
mobiles, which gets converted to SMS messages.

For the latter, I believe Asterisk might have some
type of facility already. In phonecore, there is a
send text function, which would lead me to believe
that this was some sort of messaging
mechanism...although I have not tried it, so I can't
say for sure.
