  You can send text messages with CiviCRM. Look at [Setting up an SMS provider](https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Setting+up+a+SMS+Provider+for+CiviSMS)!
  But you want to send a message the moment you register a contribution. The extension [CiviRules](https://civicrm.org/extensions/civirules) can do this task for you. It allows you to configure an action (for example sending a text message) that must be executed when a predefined event happens (for example, adding a contribution). See the [CiviRules Cookbook] (<https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviRules+Cookbook>).
