```plaintext
curl http://textbelt.com/text -d number=123456789 -d "message=hello from me"

```

This works on other platforms, I do not know if curl is available for AIX. Go to [SMS Texting API | No account required | Textbelt](http://textbelt.com) for additional help on their free API.

curl is available for AIX, for instance from Michael Perzls site.
