> The phone recieves this stream at a rate of 3 messages per second
So note that's 180 text messages a minute maximum throughput, not thousands.
I think you raise an interesting question of if it might be faster to implement a software modem over your voice connection, but I also have no idea if that's actually feasible or not.
(will various kinds of digital audio compression or filtering get in the way? I dunno. Can android apps easily get access to the voice audio stream in the way they'd need? I dunno.) (it'd certainly be a lot harder than letting the SMS network take care of the transmission layer, at any rate). (But yeah, if internet over SMS is a cool hack, then internet over software modem over audio would be even cooler!)
