If you are going to use SMTP, you will need to send to a number based on the particular carrier. You would need to use a particular SMS Gateway.

There are other services that you can possibly automate to send to a mobile when you do not know the carrier. http://www.smseverywhere.com/send.htm

Also, can you use VB.NET for this? There are much more elegant solutions if you can.

Hi Shilpa,

The code, you have given is for sending EMails not SMS.
For SMS, you need to use SMS Gateways.. (like GupshupSMS, mvaayoo)
