I use to be able to send an SMS to 0000000000 with Subject in ()'s and
a body in the SMS and it use to get to my email account but recently
when I've tried this it isn't working.

When you call Customer Service they don't know anything about this.

So, it looks like they've simply changed the format and that putting the
Subject in ()'s is no longer supported.

Simple, the idea is that you email an account and a bot returns an SMS
with the information you are seeking.

What the bot does is up to you.

It costs only 10 cents to send the SMS.

you can always send an email to ##########@mobile.att.net from any email
program.
where ### is the ATT mobile number.
The send is free and ATT does not charge for receiving SMS messages.

There are similar gateways for other carriers.

I know all of this. I SMS to email my own email account and it uses
SMTP to email my phone to reply with the response.
