    There are 2 ways that you can do to meet your requirements.

    1.) It would be possible if your mobile network provider allows it. Simply find your SMS email gateway on the following list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways

    Then, construct your email address using the following format. You can also find that on the link provided above.

    number@serviceProvider.com

    You would need to replace the number with your mobile number. Here's an example for T-mobile.

    Format: 10-digit cell phone number @t-mobile.net 

    Here's an example: 2221234567@t-mobile.net

    After this, simply set this email as your form notification email recipient.

    2.) Through Webhook but this requires API from your SMS Provider and a custom PHP script that would send the message after submission.

    You can find an example SMS Notification for Webhook in this guide: Webhook-PHP-Script-Examples (See example #2).
