Learn about PHP, SQL, and a bunch of other web programming languages there too.

I don't mean this in a critical way, but it doesn't sound like you're anywhere near qualified enough to write a full database-using website that incorporates user accounts, interfaces with cellular networks or PSTN and much, much more. You should be entirely comfortable with server-side languages such as PHP, client-side languages such as HTML, and SQL for storing account info. You should also have knowledge of the cellular networks themselves, because sending stuff to phones via the email method seems like a very weak solution to something that should be professionally implemented.

Daniel provided some good info for you, so follow that to start with.

yeah i don't know much about about this but i made a deal with sprint to give me unlimited SMS for 200 a month and i can have my own SMS port if someone sends a SMS to the server

how much do you thing a website like this will cost if i went to someone to do it for me

how much do you thing a website like this will cost if i went to someone to do it for me

I'd say $200 as an absolute minimum if there isn't that much work to do at all, going up to $*000 if it's a particularly long job. Go for something in the middle of that range.
