Ok, thanks for the helpful amplification.


Restated, your issue is: “Non-Delivery of SMSs sent by Remote Computers.”


On your phone, verify that Settings -> Messages -> Filter Unknown Senders is “OFF.”


While on this same Settings page, also check for any “Blocked Contacts” which might possibly be culprits.


Beyond that, SMS is a carrier application so non-delivery would need to be addressed by them.


Ensure that they understand that these are computer-generated SMSs which previously WERE being delivered.


It MIGHT be that they are somehow being filtered by an overly-aggressive implementation of you carrier’s SMS SPAM filtering system.
