As you can see, this defeats all attacks. The 
attacker would have to
hack the SMS gateway/Telco in order to modify SMS > messages sent which
is almost impossible or impractical.

If you have a smart-phone connected with your computer via bluetooth, a "super malware" can theoritically infect your 
smart-phone, too. After the infection it can forward the SMS to the bad guys. Nowadays it has little risk, and is only 
a theoritical fraud, but maybe in the future there would be "super malware" like this. Welcome to the brave new world :)
