Not Microsoft, but there are companies that offer SMS Gateway services that run on Windows 2003. Here are some examples, but there are more. Just search Google for SMS Gateway.

Guest John Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Re: SMS - Texting Gateway Solution? Let me try and answer your questions. Do you need to receive SMS? If you need to receive SMS, you will need to host your own GSM device or modem so that people can send you SMS. If not, you can just use internet SMS gateways like clickatell to do the work, and post to them by HTTP, XML or email. The cost is about 6-8 cents per SMS. There are cheaper services, but not always reliable. If you need to host your own GSM device, you can use software like http://www.kannel.org (GPL Open Source) or http://www.visualgsm.com.
