I guess the question is what changed two days ago?

My guess fwiw, is something may have changed in your mobile provider's
system so it now treats long messages differently to how it used to.
Try as a test modifying the command definition which sends the
messages to make sure it only sends a small message, and make sure you
know what it's sending (if necessary by sending to an ordinary email
address rather than the att one for a short while).

I've tried sending messages to my mobile in a similar way in the past
and have found that with some mobile providers (in the UK) it works
quite well, but with others it's horribly unreliable.

hth,
