Turn your Android phone into SMS API gateway

Yes. First they sent me an email, telling me if I don't go back to the US and continue using it from there, it would be suspended. Then a month later my service was killed.

Apparently, if I go back to the US and use it from there it will start working again.

Ironically, this happened weeks after I was using in the US for a month straight.

Yep, looks like you're on the nose about it costing too much to them:
