There's virtually no benefit to dedicating so much of your message to checksums with any remotely efficient algorithm. More practically, any CRC >= 32 bits is probably overkill and any CRC > 64 bits is definitely overkill until you get up into gargantuan message sizes.

Agreed, for this application (texting) a simple approach is probably best. You have to look at the particulars of your domain, it’s not one size fits all.
