Sending Text message to AT&T network iPhone from Shell Script

I am able to send text to the mobile which has Verizon network using simple SMS gateway as follows:

#!/bin/bash
mail [email protected] < sample.txt

Above Code sends the data of sample.text to phone number - 1234567890 But SMS gateway is not working for mobile with AT&T network. For example, following code does not work. 

#!/bin/bash
mail [email protected] < sample.txt

I have gone through the following link as well but for AT&T networked phone, its not working. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/203751/is-there-any-way-to-send-sms-to-a-mobile-number-using-shell-script

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Update: sample.txt is just a text file with let's say just 1 line Hello World

Also the server is same. From this server, I am able to send text to Verizon networked phone but NOT to the AT&T networked phone.

I solved this issue in a bash script via sendmail. AT&T expects Return-Path to be a valid email address. My script was using an invalid root@autodvr "From:" field.

What worked for me (sanitized):

echo -e "Return-Path: [email protected]\nTo: [email protected]\n\nHello world" | sendmail
