If the services is more than Rs.30000/-for the Financial Year then you have to deduct TDS u/s 194J @10% under the Head Professional Fees

Such type of SMS services are automatically provided by machines by use of sophisticated technology and not by any human interface, it is not technical service and tds deduction U/s 194J is not applicable. Refer to case of CIT vs Bharati Cellular Ltd (2008).
Due to this reason no tds is deductible on SMS services.Further no TDS is being deducted on telephone , mobile bill payments although service tax is charged on them.
