I had almost the same idea. Here there is something called facebook zero which is available at 0.facebook.com, it's facebook without images but it is free for T-Mobile users. There would be a possibility to do some browsing if a user sends a query message to a page/other user-bot which then downloads the information and responds in a fb text message. Like that google sms feature. Fortunately I have internet on my phone so this is not really a need anymore :)
