try doing a search for 'sms marketing' on one of the search engines...

...failing that, equip a shed full of illegal immigrants with mobile phones!

There's a number of marketing companies that can do it for you -- much cheaper that way, if they're all UK customers you're looking at around 3-4p per message.
