If you want to call the plugin from a service method, you would need to do:

1. change the name of your service (so it isn’t called SipgateService)
2. Add the def sipgateService as a class definition, not a method one

Does this work?

class MySMSService {
  static transactional = true

  def sipgateService // This will be injected from the SMS plugin

  def serviceMethod() {
    println "service"
    def phoneNumber = 'XXXXXXXXXX' 
    def result = sipgateService.sendSMS(phoneNumber, 'This is my Text to send!')
    result ?  'Sending Successful':'Sending failed'
    println "after service"
  }
}

Then, from a controller, define the link to MySMSService at class level, and call your serviceMethod method ie:

class MyController {
  def mySMSService  // this will be injected from your service

  // then, when you want to use it (from an action)

  def someAction = {
    ...
    mySMSService.serviceMethod()
    ...
  }
}
