I might be way of base here, but I think your best bet would be to dial 
into an ISP, establish a PPP connection and send an email message to the 
sms account.  MOST (and I stress that most is not all) cell phone 
providers provide email gateways to their SMS services.  Both of my cell 
phones (2 different providers) provide an email address that directly 
SMS's my [respective] phone.  The trend tends to be 
PHONENUMBER at somesmsgateway.providername.com.  My ATT phone, for example 
is:  4044315230 at mobile.att.net (i think).  My verizon phone, on the 
other hand, is: 4042742060 at vbox.verizon.net (or something very similar 
(any inaccuracies are to my beneift, so I'm not going to verify those 
addresses).

I tend to think that most people don't even realize that this 
functionality exists and it's not very easy to find in the manuals.  
Google is your friend!

Hope this helps,
CB

sendpage looks like the answer software wise, but I have no clue about 
how to configure it (what phone number to call, etc.)  In fact, I don't 
even know if Cingular supports such....
