If it doesn't have to be SMS only, there are various mass market "surf sticks" offered by providers on the cheap, marketed at laptop owners and the like. Many of them are just AT modems with serial ports tunneled through USB and then controlled by an application on the computer.
Thanks, I assumed those would need a whole series of windows drivers to initialise them.
But it looks like you can just jumper straight to the RS232 interface on this chip
