That's wrong. If /tmp/tmp-sms contains multiple lines then sendsms would be invoked separatly for each one of them.
Beside that, when you use xargs to read a file then "cat" is redundand, you can just do:
xargs sendsms < /tmp/tmp-sms
(but my previous point still holds - multiple lines will cause multiple invocations of sendsms)

Now if you really insist that the file would contain: me "Shlomo" "this is a test message"
Than you can do some shell judo: eval sendsms "`cat /tmp/tmp-sms`"
Or simply:
cat /tmp/tmp-sms | xargs sendsms
