Interesting approach. I wonder if this HTTP-specific approach is better or worse than coming up with some form of generalized TCP-over-SMS stack (with accompanying server-side router software, of course).

Reminds me, though, of Georgia Weidman's Smartphone Pentest Framework[1] which provides tools to hack a target smartphone and from there create a data connection via SMS via which you can then access a firewalled corporate network using SMS over the cell network as your tunnel in. I've seen it demoed, and it's frankly incredible.

SCTP might be more interesting because it was originally created for telephone switching with fixed packet sizes.
