You cannot send sms from your sim unless your PROVIDER supports it. The point is not the ability to send: the point is someone to receive it. You cannot directly contact the recipient, you must go through a provider. That's where your API comes in (contact a provider, send a message).

If your providers does, and you need a module of some sort to send sms, you'll need to get that module which is obviously NOT related to Vicidial in any way. Asterisk has a much larger user-base than Vicidial. Try a forum dedicated to that purpose or to the sim interface you are using. Is your sim hardware capable of generating an SMS? (this may be a bit of a requirement ...).
