Answer 1

You can use RESTFul API such as

1. Twillio (http://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest/sending-sms)
2. Plivo (https://plivo.com/docs/api/message/#message)
3. Tropo (https://www.tropo.com/docs/scripting/quickstarts/sending-text-messages)
4. Call Fire (https://www.callfire.com/products/text-messaging)

and there will be many more as well.

Answer 2

Having a gateway is not a must. If you don't have a gateway what you can do is use your mobile phone or dongle as a serial modem and send SMS through that.

One of the most popular libraries that you can use is Ozeki. It includes an example code pack.
