   A Gov't agency and/or hackers have disabled the sim on my local   
   Smart network Philippines keypad phone. The new law requiring   
   registration of phones does not go into effect until April, 2023.   
   Now I have "Emergency calls only". Cannot send nor receive texts.   
   No, it's not an expiration or load problem. Someone doesn't want me   
   using a cellphone here. I am at odds with the Gov't here. They   
   appear to be tracking me and logging my messages, maybe even   
   listening to me via the mic on the phone. Anyone offer any info on   
   this? What are my options at this point? Any new phone must be   
   registered-give them your ID, address,etc. But that is only taking   
   effect in April. All the Filipinos I know have no problem yet. Can   
   I use a U.S.   
   based cellphone sim here? Which one is the cheapest?
