So there's a text gateway?  Is this similar to an SMTP server?  Can I
just send a text to 3018675309 and send it through some gateway and it
will establish the carrier or whatever and send it on? Are these gateway
connections free?

You don't need it. You just send your SMS out via whatever text gateway
you have (Gnokii and a phone, X25 to SMSC, ...). You don't need a
gateway per phone company, any more than you need a mailserver per
domain.

You mean number porting between providers ?
It's not a problem here in Europe, because we don't need a link to every
phone co.
