Interesting and lateral thinking idea. Here's a humble offering just from the experiences and information I have obtained over the years.
All you need is an SMS compatible phone in your country/location. This is not difficult.
The trick would be to source out the various telecommunications companies around the World that offer SMS service from their respective websites. I know of several companies just off the top of my head that provide SMS communication ability over the Internet.
Obtaining a database of reliable SMS customers is probably the toughest hurdle as well as possible legal ramifications regarding privacy, etc.
