Above link discusses about an approach where a 3rd party webservice is used to send SMS to mobile client. BizTalk is used to consume that 3rd party webservice to send SMS.

There is no out of box BizTalk adapter that supports this. You may consider a 3rd party SMPP Adapter provided by nSoftware or implement your custom logic in a .NET component.

First thing you need to figure out is how to send the SMS, normally you need a third-party to do that for you. This third-party would normally provide an API way how to send sms, either by providing you with Web Service/s (POX, WCF(REST/SOAP)) or just a dll/executable application that you can call.

If it's the latter you can just create a Helper Library (that calls the dll/exec) that you can call inside an orchestration.

If it's web services then you need to know the format of request/response. For sending request you can use BizTalk's WCF-* adapters.
