There have already been a few discussions about how to implement a silent SMS 
flow [2]. The comment at [3] mentions the possibility of having an SMS flow 
only with SMS MO [4], which would be absolutely great, but I can't see how this 
flow can work in a secure way since it is possible to replace the sender of an 
SMS [5].
I'd say the only consequence of a spoofed SMS would be a failed payment,
right ? There is no way the spoofed SMS would trigger an unwanted payment.

No, if SMS can be spoofed then the consequence would be a fraudulent
payment. The payment would be done, since we're basically equaling the
SMS to a proof-of-ownership of the line that will be used to do the
payment. So if user A with MSISDN A' can send a SMS with MSIDN B' that
is owned by user B, then that would result in us charging user B for
whatever user A bought.

Best,

Antonio
