Perhaps. The only example I can give is that you can send an SMS or MMS message to a Verizon cell phone using a unique email address. The format is:

0000000000@vtex t.com
0000000000@vzwp ix.com

Unless they changed this. The 0's are the 10-digit phone number. As far as other carriers go, I'm not sure, the only way I know how to do it is by sending the email. You CAN send emails from a C# application, you'll just need an SMTP server.

You're talking about directly interfacing with your phone to use its SMS feature? I'm not sure how your phone company is going to feel about you doing that. Most phone OSes are locked down so you won't even be able to do that. I suppose if you were to jailbreak your phone it could be possible. But really, you're getting way out there in terms of technical knowledge needed to pull this off.

You're probably better off renting some sort of gateway service if you want to be professional. But, there are free online services that can send text messages. For example, AOL instant messenger.

If you have an Android phone I'm sure you could get away with it. Android is open source and there ae many many apps available to replace the default messaging app, these apps are obviously able to send SMS messages using the phone's hardware and API. I'm sure you could write an application in C# using the Dalvik VM Debugging console that would hook into the API, but I'm sure it's not something anyone here would be able to help with.

Would or could. I can't think of any other reason to do it this way than spam texts.

I see two questions:
1. I want to send an SMS from my C# application.
2. Can i send sms using my mobile phone

Lets start with 2 because thats simple for me. I don't know, but i'ed imagine this would be difficult to do so.

Sending a SMS from a C# application is possible. You need a SMS hoster for this and how to implement it is often dependent on the hoster. Find a good hoster, send them a mail asking for help on how to do it and there you go :)
