Why not simply use the Wifi on the phone instead? Poor college student = Free Wifi on campus, right?

Yes, I do have Wi-Fi on my phone. I am talking about on the go where there is no Wi-Fi. (my campus does have free wi-fi everywhere)
Also, I am aware of the 160 character limit, which is why there would be many "text messages" sent to the phone to display a webpage. Think of each text message as a "packet". My idea is kind of based off how packets are sent/received over networks. Like, for me to load this page, it probably took ~50 packets, depending on the size of the packet. Yes, 160 characters would be a pretty small packet I would imagine, requiring many, many text messages. But if I can get a good program going that can process the text messages properly, I might be able to pull it off. Is it probably more hassle than it will be worth? Probably, but it would be good experience for me and something fun to do.
