    Some mobile phone manufacturers have proprietary PC software which may also have an API that you can use.

    The standard way to do this is to get your mobile connected to the PC as a GSM modem. Most mobile phones have drivers for this and you can connect using a physical cable, bluetooth IR etc.

    Test that this shows up as a serial port on windows (COM1/2/3) and you should be now able to use a terminal prog to test this and send text messages using +AT commands

    here's a sample from the site above: 
    AT
OK
AT+CMGF=1
OK
AT+CMGW="+85291234567"

+CMGW: 1

OK
AT+CMSS=1
+CMSS: 20

OK

    Now then all you need to do is recreate the serial port IO in Java and you should be there.
