There exists smart phone apps that allow you to SSH to a machine.
Aside from the fact that this may be a really bad idea (security-wise), are there any programs/services that allow you to SSH to a machine from a phone using SMS? Would that even be possible?
I'm envisioning something that would allow you to execute a command by sending a SMS message, and receive the reply via SMS message after a few seconds. Not sure how persistence would work under such a circumstance... (pardon the purely speculative question)
Persistence would work similar to the "web SSH" programs - the gateway server keeps sessions open, with a certain timeout, and selects the right session based on some identifier (phone number or HTTP cookie). – user1686 – 2012-03-23T16:25:23.963
I would look for possibly some kind of "Remote control via email" system, if you can get the SMS message forwarded to the email address it should work. – Scott Chamberlain – 2012-03-23T17:04:07.923

Sounds only marginally better than SSH over RFC1149
