Yes! There are APIs that will help you with that. Search the web for
"text message api" and see what you can find. (Be aware that some of
them will ask you to pay money.) Then pick one of them and see if you
can access it from Python.

Most of them will be HTTP-based APIs, so you will do well to use the
"requests" module.
