I haven't tried it, but here's my understanding:
 
You can send a text message simply by sending an email -- the email address 
is of the form [mobile_number]@[provider-specific_email_server]. For 
example, if the mobile number is 123-456-7890 and the provider is Sprint, 
you can send an SMS message by sending an email to 
1234567...@messaging.sprintpcs.com.
 
The sms_email function in 
sms_utils.py<http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/gluon/contrib/sms_utils.py>simply
 constructs the proper email address based on the phone number and 
mobile provider as arguments. You can then use that email address to send an 
email using the web2py Mail system: 
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/08#Auth-and-Mail. Obviously, you need 
to know the user's mobile provider (and there are a lot of choices) for this 
to work.
