It is not as bad as you may think.

The http header is assigned by the carrier's gateway, and all the communication after that can be HTTPS. Carriers also publish the IP addresses and more of their gateways. Using all these information, you should be in a pretty good state.

(This is off topic, though, I think..., so I will stop here.)

For many WAP phones and its variations, there is an associated identifier for each phone that identifies the hardware. When possible, it would be worthwile to use those as a part of credentials.

As a part of, yes - but how easy would it be to spoof that hardware key?
