Nice! One small thing I noticed: it looks like you don't have compression turned up all the way. You might be able to save a lot of bandwidth if you use the most aggressive brotli settings for everything that's sent over SMS
Okay this is actually super clever.. Really nice job ! Edit : I notice you don't have a server in Italy, I might be able to help for a while at least, I'll contact on GH.
Very cool - I've often thought about trying to set something up like this for situations - mostly on airplanes - where you're allowed some kind of "free messaging" but otherwise don't have any data.

Super cool, I like how you can host a server easily with another phone. Is there something equivalent but normal web browsing that compresses the data on a server before it sends it? For instance, T-mobile has free internet overseas but it’s usually stupidly slow since it runs on edge.
Thanks! And yep, my goal was to make it as easy as possible to host a server without any technical knowledge. I haven't looked into the subject extensively, but I believe those services exist(ed) in the form of Opera Mini and UC Browser. IIRC, Opera Mini's Android app still supports this. Sadly, it's not open source, so you have to trust Opera with all your data, and Opera hasn't exactly had the best track record...…
Do you have a specific "target market" in mind, with cheap / unlimited SMS but censored internet access? E.g. China, Russia, Turkey?
