Personally I think a seperate windows service would have been a better way to have done this. Implementing a timer in it which runs once a day and sends a sms to all the users who's birthday it is on the current day from the sql database.

If you think about it, a web page is totally the wrong application for this. What you are trying to achieve is something that runs once a day and sends out the sms greetings. How about a console application that is scheduled to run once a day, using windows scheduler. At a push you could use a windows service, but it will be running constantly and using system resources unnecessarily.
