This sender is your mobile service provider via email-to-SMS gateway. The free hosted Textbelt service used email-to-SMS gateways up until 2017, which is why you received a Textbelt message from this number in 2015. Unfortunately, the phishing message you just received could be an email sent by anyone, and is not Textbelt affiliated.

Brilliant! Apologies for the premature accusation.
