My users want to be able to send text messages to a list of people. I see that there are at least two modules available, but both look like more than we need. Is there something simpler for texting?

As long as you know the carrier a cell number uses, you can send it an SMS via email.
This solution isn't drupal specific, but here's a general how to (first link I found on google)

And using this you should ask the user for the Cell phone number and their plan provider giving a select list of known providers. You cannot really determine the provider who provides the service from the phone digits because of number porting.
you might check out the following projects, if you haven't already:
- http://drupal.org/project/voipdrupal - http://drupal.org/project/smsframework
I don't have any personal experience with either one; I learned of them at a very interesting BOF at DrupalCon Denver.
