CodeIgniter comes pre-packaged with a lot of helper functions. So you can make a call to, let's say, site_url() wherever you want across your application. You can write your own custom helpers as well.

Create a sms_helper.php in your application/helpers directory, add your functions, a sms() maybe. Then autoload it in application/config/autoload.php: 

$autoload['helper'] = ['sms', ...];

Now, you can call sms() wherever you want.

If you don't autoload it, you need to $this->load->helper('sms'); before you call any helper functions provided by that helper.

You can write this function in the custom helper file in folder application\helpers. In this folder create a file common_functions_helper.php and create a function directly like

function sendSMS($data = array()){
  // function body
}

and load this file in a function where you want to call this function Like 

$this->load->helper('common_functions');

and call the sms function by function name

sendSMS();
