Depending upon the service utilized, you might be able to use e-mail.
The "pager" integrated into my cell phone has the ability to accept and
display (short) e-mail messages [about 150-200 chars, I think, including
the "from: " and "to:" information]  With the various linkages to SMTP
servers that are out there, it would be a simple matter to write a job or
script that blasts the same message to multiple e-mail addresses [one at a
time so the "to:" line isn't horrendeous]

Likewise, many of these cell/pager companies are putting up web sites where
you can send a message.  Since it is "just an html 'form'", it should be
fairly simple to write a perl/java/language-of-the-week routine to dash off
multiple http "PUTS"...
