Pushover

Although not really an SMS gateway, Pushover performs a similar function.  Message recipients will need to have the Pushover apps installed on their iOS or Android device.  One of the advantages of using Pushover is that you can send messages to any mobile device that has an Internet connection (eg. phones and tablets).  The device doesn't have to be a phone..
