I am by no means a long-time member or expert, but your case seems to be the first one. It's very hard to see which programs you may be running at one time or another. Your script installs also stuff directly without using the package manager (download .tar.gz and unpack somewhere), so your dpkg -l list unfortunately doesn't give the whole picture of what you may be running or what you may have run at some point.

If you want some specific advise beyond reflashing, try to purge smscon and see if that stops the SMS'ing.
