are you using squid in transparent mode?
if yes then is your squid box masqurading connections?
If not then you will have to make it masqurade connections as in transparent mode only port 80 traffic is redirected to squid.

if you dont know much about kernel recompiling i would suggest PMfirewall for masquarading connections.
Try www.pmfirewall.com
and then install it.
Hope this will take care of everything.

what sort of problems are you facing with mobilink sms site?
if your proxy is not running in transparent mode then i am afraid you will have to allow the tcp port the most easiest way of that is to allow ssl connect
which however will negotiate your system ports somehow.
