Generally you need a connection to the SMS gateway. You can connect
directly to operator’s SMSC or to any SMS gateway like clickatell.com. I
recommend using SMPP connection, but most providers allow you to use
SMPP when you send at least dozens of thousands messages monthly.

The best option is to keep messages in your database and write your own
standalone ruby daemon (also could be a script run periodically from
cron), which would check if there are messages waiting to be sent in the
DB. You can schedule messages for later delivery that way. A message can
be delivered to kannel by HTTP GET (it is described in Kannel’s User
Guide) using Ruby’s Net::HTTP.get
