If you type send sms vb.net into the search box in the top right corner of CodeProject you will find several articles that should help. Do it in google and you will get even more suggestions

Either you can use an online service (suggestions would depend on the country) or you can buy USB modems that you put SIM cards into and use AT commands to send text messages.

Which choice is good for you depends on what you are really trying to do and what your volume will be. A lot of providers also have email addresses like 5551234567@sms.provider.com that takes the email text and turns it into an SMS, but its not universal.

To use bulk SMS API from various providers Try following...
I am using the same....

www.freesmsapi.org[^]

VB

Dim sURL As String
Dim objReader As StreamReader
sURL = "http://www.freesmsapi.org/sms.php?provider=site2sms&uid=XXXXXXXXXX&pwd=password&phone=" & lstsmsph.Items.Item(i) & "&msg=" & txtsmstext.Text
Dim sResponse As WebRequest
sResponse = WebRequest.Create(sURL)
            
Dim objStream As Stream
objStream = sResponse.GetResponse.GetResponseStream()
objReader = New StreamReader(objStream) 'Final Response

To Send SMS from Vb.Net code, I use Sharp Voice. It can access a Google Voice account to send SMS, get Messages, and even call (I haven't tried to use the library to make calls). The DLL is written in C#, which can still be used in VB.net.

You can get it here:
