Re: Sending Scheduled SMS and Bulk SMS using PHP
1. Use a cron (linux) or task scheduler (windows) to run a PHP script periodically
2. Call an SMS gateway from the script - http://www.google.co.il/search?q=sms+gateway

Re: Sending Scheduled SMS and Bulk SMS using PHP
Define ""bulk" 10? 100? 100000? of messages at one time?
You can send an SMS the same as an email and use PHP mail() as the simplest option. If you are talking about a lot of messages you will need to control how it sends and your host may have something to say also.
To use the SMS Gateway addresses shown here enter the 10 digit mobile phone number for the person you are sending a message to in front of the appropriate address (i.e. 1234567890@carrier.com).
Note: SMS Gateways shown here are for U.S. carriers only (links for additional U.S. & International carriers at end of article).
