Yeah a nice approach I had a similar solution for a small business client, the only difference is I built a native android app for forwarding those SMS,on a high level view it basically does the same thing SMSSync does, I had another big client that didn't want that approach and had to go through a different approach where we had to talk directly to the existing Mpesa system and airtime recharge system, its similar to what these big Payment service aggregetors are doing

Most of these big boys don't have easy user friendly apis to communicate to...and most of the libraries that support their protocols are developed in JAVA.
That was one of the point I was stressing to deejaywillz once you get to do such development you have to get your hands dirty and work with the language that is best suited for the job, unless you have enough power to command these big boys to develop a friendly xml based API for you
