Hi Jamal,
As far as I know, there's hardly any free web service that provides
developer APIs for sending SMS. A lot are out there, but one has to
pay some amount (per SMS or volume) to have an access. But yes, there
are many free web services that provides SMS to be sent via webform,
and you can automate the process provided that the service doesn't
have captcha (visual verification) to be filled for. Even for that,
you'll have to find the one which is persistent (many stops after a
while) in order to have your program work longer.
in case of web forms, you can use .net, web browser control for such
purpose. I can help you if you require.
