    To send an SMS you have to buy an account with an SMS provider. You can't do it with just a framework. (The framework you use, if you use one, has nothing at all to do with sending SMS.)

    you can send any number of messages from sms sending sites but let me tell you there is always a limit to every site.. For example from 160by2.com you have a limit of 10 msgs to send and after that you have wait for the next day. There is no website where you will ever be able to send 30k sms in one day. Also some websites you can upload loads of phone numbers from a file.

    You will need to use 3rd party service to send bulk emails and messages.

    this is why he is developing a custom solution as the client clearly cant use the other alternatives.

    Twilio offers an API for Sending SMS text messages. It's $.01/outgoing. For mail you can use your local mail server or sign up for an SMTP service that provides an API and specializes in handling mailing lists. Use PHP to interact with the services. An actual framework is not needed (though I'm sure you were using "framework" out of context).
