Hello, I don't know of anything that does this on a dedicated manner, but it could certainly be done. Basically you could write an app for Android that would do this, and have a "sending" and a "receiving" app that does the two halves. Network traffic analysis could determine the link. A more robust solution would be to use an industrial cellular modem and make a little device that does the relaying and presents a standard SIP interface and could be hosted. I'm actually living in the middle of the outback where there is no cellular coverage, but receiving SMS would be handy (and my carrier doesn't do VoLTE etc), so this kind of solution would even be useful in such situations. Can also be used to indirectly relay a cellular signal down from, say, a hill, down to a house in a valley that lacks decent cellular coverage via a wifi shot.
So in short, I think it is both possible, and has a bunch of potential uses. It could fit under NLnet Foundation's "Privacy Protecting Technologies" focus. Another variation would be to have a privacy protecting phone that has the "cellular half" detatchable with WiFi built in, so that you can choose when you want to do this or not. This would be possible with the MEGAphone concept that we are already working on with NLnet. Paul.
