way2sms api not working in java

Question

i am using way2sms api in my web application. Previously it was working fine but now it is not able to send sms. Can anyone tell me what must have gone wrong suddenly. Is the api outdated? or is there problems with the way2sms site or the gateway?

Here's some code I wrote, hopefully you'll find it useful.

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class SmsSender
{
  //Replace your way2sms username and password below
  static final String _userName = "your way2sms username";
  static final String _password = "your way2sms password";
  static final String _url = "http://ubaid.tk/sms/sms.aspx";
  static final String charset = "UTF-8";

  //to build the query string that will send a message
  private static String buildRequestString(String targetPhoneNo, String message) throws UnsupportedEncodingException
  {
    String [] params = new String [5];
    params[0] = _userName;
    params[1] = _password;
    params[2] = message;
    params[3] = targetPhoneNo;
    params[4] = "way2sms";

    String query = String.format("uid=%s&pwd=%s&msg=%s&phone=%s&provider=%s",
        URLEncoder.encode(params[0],charset),
        URLEncoder.encode(params[1],charset),
        URLEncoder.encode(params[2],charset),
        URLEncoder.encode(params[3],charset),
        URLEncoder.encode(params[4],charset)
        );
    return query;
  }

  public static void sendMessage(String reciever, String message) throws Exception
  {
    //To establish the connection and perform the post request
    URLConnection connection = new URL(_url + "?" + buildRequestString(reciever,message)).openConnection();
    connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", charset);

    //This automatically fires the request and we can use it to determine the response status
    InputStream response = connection.getInputStream();
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response));
    System.out.println(br.readLine());
  }

  public static void main(String [] args)
    throws Exception
  {
    String testPhoneNo = "9876543210";
    String testMessage = "Sending Messages From java is not too hard";

    sendMessage(testPhoneNo,testMessage);
  }
}
