I use qpage.. It provides an SNPP server and client, and will talk TAP to your
cell carrier.  http://www.qpage.org/

I find the TAP functionality particularly useful... if the network is down, it
doesn't matter if my cell carrier has an email->SMS gateway because email
isn't going anywhere.  This allows me to send my pages out of band.

There's a list of TAP gateway numbers on the qpage web site, but you may have
to contact your carrier for a number anyway.  Many of the numbers listed are
for the carriers' paging networks only, and are not set up to carry messages
to the SMS network.  Quite often the TAP->SMS phone number is listed on the
carrier's web site, as well.
