Plus is the only polish operator that gives such a gate without extra pay
and without a captcha on their page

Having used this technique extensively for 10+ years on US-based AT&T,
Verizon, and T-Mobile accounts, I can say it's only about 90% reliable,
which wasn't reliable enough for me when it came to monitoring.
Sometimes messages disappear into the void, sometimes they come across
as gibberish, sometimes they are delayed by hours -- but it works fine
90% of the time.
I have used asterisk with a BroadVoice account
http://www.broadvoice.com/rateplans_byod.html to send real SMS messages
under Linux with good results. It has been 100% reliable.
For reference, the domains for some big US carriers are:
1 + area code + num...@tmomail.net
area code + num...@vtext.com (Verizon)
area code + num...@mobile.att.net
All of these are free to use as far as I know, but you should probably
call your phone company before sending hundreds of messages at one :)
