1 is incorrect. You cannot use got. You should use was.

... your mobile was switched off.

 

[jutfrank]

I don't know whether my messages are reaching you or not. :tick:

You cannot use being reached.

 

[Tarheel]

If you say

"When I called you yesterday your mobile got switched off" it makes it seem like calling the phone made it shut down.

 

[tedmc]

How about:
Your mobile was off when I called?

 

[Tdol]

I don't know whether my messages are reaching you or not. :tick:

Or something like:

I don't know whether my messages are getting through or not.
