Sending SMS depends on a variety of factors, some technical and some legal.
Codeigniter by itself will not send SMS without a gateway or modem with the requisite SMS plan and connectivity. Also, as I mentioned, in many regions, sending SMS in a commercial sense has requirements put forth by carriers.
If I were you since you obviously are new to the field, do a search for gateways and see who/what makes the most sense in your particular region.

The first thing I would do is just as 2think states first look to finding a provider that offers API access. So to shortcut that for you I normally goto http://www.programmableweb.com click the APIs link and search what I happen to be looking for then compare multiple providers of the service/s I am looking for. Hope you find this of some help for your situation.

To use SMS directly, no there is much more than just code there is hardware and other software involved. Tools for utilizing an API from a provider yes but limited and depends on the API. You have an XMLRPC Class and an XML Helper. For SOAP and curl api calls I suggest extending and adding as I did.

Most cell carriers provide an email address that can be used to deliver SMS messages.
