What do you mean by sending a text message ? Like a note about the transaction ? The only way that I'm aware of is naming your address provided by SPV's ,not sure if core provides this service but you can name your address which will be publicly shown for transactions on that address.

I think Blockchain.info is one of the wallets offering the service .

Yes, it is possible.

You would put the text in the pk-script of your transaction output(s).
The most common method is to use OP_RETURN opcode, followed by the data (text message) you want to notarize.

Just remember that if you put too much data after OP_RETURN, you might have problems getting the transaction confirmed.
But the blockchain protocol itself allows a transaction to be as big as 100KB and you can fill it with a text almost entirely.
Apart from the limitations inside the official software, miners should not have problems including such a transaction into a block, as long as you'd pay them a sufficient fee.

A cheaper way however would be to only embed a hash of your message into the blockchain, while the message itself would be broadcast via some other channel.

And this method would, of course, have the added feature of privacy - if it was required.

Blockchain.info provide you with an option to embed a public note in transaction. But it can be only seen on the website. It doesn't include any extra cost but requires transaction of min size 0.005 BTC.

You can also use http://www.cryptograffiti.info/paystamper/ to attach a message to a bitcoin transaction in a way that the message would be stored in the block chain forever.
