Best scam message ever?

[helmutvw]

Received a text from 289-218-8633 advising...
=============================
Rogers Alert: Dear Valued Customer,We regret to inform you that there is a payment failure on your Rogers account. Please login at mobile - rogers - pay <<removed link>> and address the issue promptly to avoid any service disruptions in the next 24 hours!
=============================
It even had a Rogers logo at the top of the message.
Beware!?!

First red flag is its from a  10 digit phone number, rogers messages are never sent from a random phone number they are sent from a short code which is 4 or 5 digits long

I just got the same text message and just deleted it. I know it's a scam because:

1) It's a text message that won't open using WIFI. I had to switch on my mobile data to view the text message. Most text message scams for some reason won't open using WIFI?

2) If there's any payment problems you would deal with it via MyRogers account. Even then, I would never click on a link from a text message that might use the wording of 'myrogers' mixed into it. I would ONLY use my desktop computer to login to my Rogers account. 

3) I logged into MyRogers account and it reads my current total balance is $0.00, meaning my last payment was accepted.

3) I recently paid my Rogers bill via online banking and then the next day, I received an Email confirmation from Rogers regarding my payment.

Just letting the community know how I go about determining if a text message from Rogers is a phishing scam.
