I had the same experience trying all the examples in this thread and doing some debugging:

Receiving SMS in Particle Electron

Thanks to @mrlowalowa, @developer_bt, @ScruffR, @RWB, etc… for their amazing work on Electron and SMS. I managed to receive SMS and process it using third party SIM. Whenever an Call or SMS is received, the interrupt on the RI_UC will be triggered. Also we can read the SMS using AT+CMGR Command. The syntax is AT+CMGR=<index>. The index is the index of the memory at which the message is stored. Here the key is to find the index of the last SMS. For this purpose we can use AT+CPMS? command. This …

... got receiving an SMS and sending a reply to work 8/10 times on Electron 2G, but not at all on Electron 3G. It was clear that the dependencies between what the application and the OS/firmware do with the modem is way too high to get it stable. And that aspect was confirmed to be a moving target trying other firmwares. Being a hard requirement we had to cancel the project.

Hope this helps others not to loose a lot of time on this. Just sending one SMS should be possible to get working on a specific device with a specific firmware though.

… anyway, at home for sending sms I particle.publish a message to the particle cloud forwarding to https://www.clockworksms.com. It is a supported and maintained method, so it will likely keep working.
