Hi,

SMS is a really neat technology and interfacing to it is fun but it can be a bit hard to grasp at first since there are a lot of different methodologies that can be used.

To make things simple I would recommend you start with the Clickatell SMS gateway service. It is easy to use and normally there is a fee per message but with their free trial you get 10 free credits to play with.

You will want to use their COM api to interface with their service. It should be super simple to setup from VB.NET.

Also, if you don't mind sending an email to [e-mail] then this service will send your SMS message to the number you provided for free. Teleflip will add a little plug for themselves at the bottom of the message.

Now, if you'd like to do some further research on the matter of SMS and would like to eventually send SMS without having to pay an SMS gateway provider then you will need to know how to setup your own SMS GSM modem and communicate to it. I've provided a few links that will help you in your research.
