No. You can buy software to send SMS messages to phones, but they need a subscription to a phone company (the software sends the messages to the company, who then send it through the phone network). Unless you operate a telecommunications network, you cannot do it yourself.

Nope, the phone companies wouldn't be too happy that you couldn't pay your phone bill, because you're billions of dollars in debt from setting up your telecommunications network...

You may find what you want at one of these sites. I haven't used any of them myself so I can't recommend any one.

Be careful with instant messengers which send to SMS, as they will often charge a fair bit more than your phone company will, and you usually won't find out until you read the fine print (or get the bill).
