I have a small script that will send SMS to Alltel phones directly
from the PC, no cell phone has to be connect.  I'm afraid it's not in
VB, but in ooRexx using Rexx Sockets. 

There were several steps required to develop this little script, but
it has come in real handy in our office.  We use it notify us via cell
text message IF our telephone service goes down.

Most all cell companies have a webbased means of sending text
messages.  You could use ActiveX/OLE to automate IE and send your
message that way OR you could put a packet sniffer on your system and
determine only the necessary parts to send without going through the
webpage. 

NOTE: this will probably be different for all cell service providers.
