Will the defendant receive the message?

Legal analysis: No, the court served the defendant by document, not by SMS. It is the duty of the court to serve legal documents such as filing a case. Generally speaking, after the court files a case, it will first call the parties and ask them to go to the court to collect it. If the parties fail to collect it, the court will serve it in person, by mail, by lien, by announcement, etc.
