This is not a beginner project. First, you have to find an SMS gateway. SMS isn't free, you have to purchase a service to send SMS messages through a gateway. You will need the ability for a user to login to the site (asp.net has built in membership featres
you can use for this). After that, perhaps a simple table with the user's id, a name for the contact, and the phone number. Keep in mind though, if you have users that send out bulk messages that are considered to be spam, you could face legal finds and even
litigation depending upon where the user that received the SMS lives.
Don't forget to mark useful responses as Answer if they helped you towards a solution.
