ValueText SMSValueText SMS
In 3 ways you can send SMS from Salesforce.
In every option you have pros and cons and choose based on your criteria.

1. Salesforce default SMS sending
     A. Cost vise very expensive in case of messaging. 
     B.Some places you have to put your development efforts to make the process automatic.
2. Integrate SMS gateway.
    N number of gateways in a market where you can choose and integrate.

     Pros:
SMS prices are low.
     Cons:
If you want to send SMS to different countries Integration is not a good option because International SMS gateway can not give SMS at local Price.
You have to put your development efforts for dynamic message creation in triggers.     
You have to invest your money and time on every SMS template creation.
 
3. You can find App in AppExchange.
There are a few apps in AppExhnage which are providing complete automation.
No development efforts.
Like Email template you can create SMS template.
You can send SMS with workflow where you need not to write triggers.
If your option is 3 ? You can have a look at our ValueText SMS(https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000EFoedUAD) App (https://goo.gl/9B6B7d) at AppExchange.
