I do know that over there they have more Internet down times and black outs than we have here, so it could possibly be that. I guess it's not cheap for her to text you, so if you got the other mobile phone which is unlocked, then the smart or globe roaming sim card, then it would only be the 1pesos for her to text you. So then, although she might not have time to write a decent email or to chat on Facebook/Yahoo etc, she can't say that she doesn't have time to text you or that she doesn't have enough money to either as 1pesos os very cheap. I feel that if you did this, and she still is quiet, then there is a high chance something else going on and it doesn't bode well.
