The 160 byte limit is carrier/handset dependent, and goes as low as
140 for some Canadian carriers.

The cell phone companies are happy to provision you with a gateway
account, if you can prove you are not a cell-spammer and will pay them
money.

If not, you are at the mercy of free systems designed for casual
limited use by end users, and abusing that with a PHP script that
could send lots of messages would be a very Bad Idea -- They'll just
block you as soon as you get going.

The core gear is owned by the phone companies.  They're not interested
in providing free spammer access wide open to the general public for
some reason...
