As far as I understand SMS/MMS does not use the data connection. If
they do use the data connection, they'll be tunnelled thru your VPN
provider, then routed to your cell provider for final disposition.

A VPN transmits all non-local data thru the tunnel. Here's what
ifconfig looks like on a linux laptop:

tun1: flags=4305<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
inet 10.10.19.32  netmask 255.255.255.0  destination 10.10.19.32
unspec 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  txqueuelen 100  (UNSPEC)
RX packets 1614  bytes 566100 (552.8 KiB)
RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
TX packets 2532  bytes 178300 (174.1 KiB)
TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
						
and routes:

route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         10.10.19.1      128.0.0.0       UG    0      0        0 tun1
default         homeportal      0.0.0.0         UG    600    0        0 wlan0
10.10.19.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 tun1
x.xxxxxx.       homeportal      255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 wlan0
128.0.0.0       10.10.19.1      128.0.0.0       UG    0      0        0 tun1
link-local      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 wlan0

so everything is going out thru 10.10.19.1, while the cable modem
lives in 192.168.1.x space.

You can get some meta data leakave via  your DNS servers.
