Check out the documentation for a start on the mobile web stuff.  It's a start, but it still needs a lot of work.  Mobile ASP.NET uses an adaptation model where output is formatted to the device based on a library of device feature support.

While SMS is a mobile technology, it's not really a mobile ASP.NET thing.  Messages can be sent from any device.  Check out the support KB 555578 for a code sample and MXTelecom for a commercial service provider which provides an SMS/MMS gateway.

Cheers,
Colin
