Customer Support announced today that the SMS for Mafia Wars has been discontinued. If you haven't got your SMS achievements, it's probably too late. This announcement came without warning. I know in the past some Customer Support agents have given these achievements to players who don't live in the US.
Here is a reprint of the Customer Support FAQ Page.
SMS for Mafia Wars Discontinued
Updated 07/13/2011 at 00:33
Sadly, after more than a year in service, Mafia Wars is discontinuing SMS notification for mobile phones. Thank you for your support. Q: Why was there no notification that you’re shutting it down? A: We included an alert at the start of every Mafia Wars text message on July 12. Q: When will you turn off SMS? A: We are scheduled to discontinue text message notifications on July 13. Q: What happens to my progress? A: There will be no change to your in-game progress. Your stats will remain the same. If you earned achievements from using the SMS service, you will still have them. Q: Will I be given any compensation or credits for the shutdown? A: Unfortunately, no. Q: Why has Mafia Wars decided to drop this feature? A: We have chosen to discontinue text message notifications due to the low volume of support from our players for this feature. |

luckily customer support gave me those achievements a little while ago (I'm outside the USA). Will take them in lieu of the Raven achievements and call it square.
