I was on the verge of writing the same thing.  Are they claiming that
they can install a rootkit remotely by sending a carefully crafted
SMS?  (Seems unlikely, given the small number of bytes to play with.)
Or that once a rootkit is installed, they can use SMS as a trigger for
it?  If the latter, how do they get the rootkit on there in the first
place?
