How are you sending SMS?
To send SMS you'll need to go through gateway, and that's dependent on the carrier.
Typically speaking, you'd need some API that handles one-way/two-way messaging. As well, depending on country, there are many regulation surrounding sending of SMS via automated system.
There are ways to send SMS via email, but you'll need to find out the gateway for each carrier and what carrier the receiving end is on

I would advise against going down this path, without getting advise from your company's legal team. Even then, I'd recommend using API service for sending SMS rather than in-house coding.
NOTE: Specific countries will have different regulation. North America, for instance, requires that messages must be sent from a provisioned, text-enabled number (i.e. must always be two-way), and that it has code to stop sending messages.
