Probably.

I tried to have a quick look on that forum but I don't know to what part you 
are referring.

First mail (for Fedora) is about using the mobile on USB port for sending.

Another mail (from OdyX): The guy modified a script " smssend" (that connects 
you to the different sms portals) to connect to  the "Xtra-Zone de Swisscom".
He starts by saying he can just click on the phone number from Kontact
to send sms's while using the credits he has on "Xtra-Zone", but later says it 
is free (as in beer) to send?? He also has no confirmation from KMail that 
the message has been sent.	:'(

Still another mail (by nicolili23)  is about installing a mobile swisscom card 
(as the header says) or install, one unlimited mobile (in the text)... not 
sure I understand what they mean (usb?)


Well I'm not goint to read all the messages.
It seems clear that either you use your mobile to send or go through a 
provider that will bridge internet and mobile system, and both options 
probably exist.
If you submitt a more precise text, I'm willing to help translating from 
french (if I can find the time)
