Sounds awfully like you want to spam people.

I suspect you need a cell phone that acts as a modem, and allows you to
send SMSs through it.  Businesses and schools do this kind of thing, but
probably most would do it by paying for a gateway provider, for things
like automatically sending reminds for dental appointments, and other
alerts.  They send it to the gateway provider, it puts it through the
mobile phone network.
