For a heads-up, you need to get a GSM modem (or a CDMA modem), attach it to your PC and use the API provided with the modem to send SMS. And do not use words like "important" or "urgent" here. People in CP help others in their leisure, it may be urgent for you, but not for us here.

I actually used this feature provided in VB.NET, as a project for a break alarm here at work. It was made to notify people of the breaks about to end 5-10min prior to the end of the break. Of course it was used through via Email the mobile number. So the down side is, is that people had to use their email account credentials to setup the automatic notification. Of course the contrast in this to match what he expects would to be setting up a generic email account and of course applied directly to the code for the notification. At least that is my 2 copper. The implementation is very easy and with just a few lines of code. Use c# > vb for better management. But for unfamiliarity use the vb.net

Code for VB.NET

Try
Dim insMail As New MailMessage()
With insMail
.From = strFrom
.To = strTo
.Subject = strSubject
.Body = strBody
.Cc = strCC
If Not strAttachments.Equals(String.Empty) Then
Dim strFile As String
Dim strAttach() As String = strAttachments.Split(";")
For Each strFile In strAttach
.Attachments.Add(New MailAttachment(strFile.Trim()))
Next
End If
End With

If Not strSMTPServer.Equals(String.Empty) Then 
  SmtpMail.SmtpServer = strSMTPServer 
End If 
 
SmtpMail.Send(insMail)

Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLine(e.Message)
End Try

Then pick from the list in which your employees have the provider: SMS Gateway Listing The code is easily converted to c#

            MessageBox.Show("SMS St Successfully!");


        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Error while trying to send SMS.\\n\\nError: ", ex.ToString());

    }

In C#, Cutting out the SMS re sellers is like telling your employees to give up their carriers and switch to yours when you can't provide a reliable service. Use the generic email system, it helps and is less of a hassle. What I provided is a breakdown of what you can accomplish with the code. Its not much, so make use of it.
