Sending SMS using FSO is very easy:
http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=specs.git;a=blob_plain;f=html/org.freesmartphone.GSM.SMS.html;hb=HEAD#SendTextMessage

You can use mdbus2 or dbus-send, or any dbus binding for your language
of choice. SendTextMessage even handles multi-part messages
automatically for you.

I'm not aware of any existing MMS implementation for FSO.
