I would assume Verizon used (and perhaps still does, when you ignore the HTTP gateway) the encoding for SMS compatibility with other networks, although you could imagine them doing the translation at the edge of their network. This doesn't have anything to do with the underlying radio technology or how SMS messages are sent, just how the bytes are interpreted.
