For sending SMS (Text) you have some options.

1. Have a GSM Modem that can send SMS (Text). Via "AT" commands you can send SMS (Text) to mobile phnes.
2. Use a service from mobile operator where you can send high volume of SMS (Text) to mobile phones.

Have a database where you store all informations.
