Hello! I was just wondering why my smart roaming can no longer receive incoming messages? I've been using it for years, and it ceased receiving messages fr the Philippines last December 2007 although I still receive a signal here in my host country. My husband made it a point to eload it just to make sure its connected.Apparently, it was cut off. Is there a chance of getting it work again? What should I do? Please, its very important to me. Thank you and more power.

Description:

Smart Communications has transformed the cell phone market in the Philippines by enabling electronic sales of airtime via short message service (SMS) and by reducing the unit size of such sales to as little as US$0.03. This innovation has enabled millions of low-income Filipinos to access communications services - 98% of Smart's subscribers are l ow-income, pre-paid customers. Its distribution system, using SMS technology, allows merchants to re-sell minutes, taking a commission on every sale, in essence creating a business opportunity for 450,000 entrepreneurs.
