LTO Text Service (Hot car?)

I just found out the Land Transportation Office has an SMS messaging service to help check the registration details of a vehicle. I found this thru the LTO website (http://www.lto.gov.ph/) because we are considering buying a second hand car.
Back then, you need to go to an LTO office and fill-out some documents to get some information about  a vehicle but now it is just one text away.

Text the following information to "2600"
LTO<space>Vehicle<space>Plate#
ex: LTO Vehicle ABC123

The response will be:
Plate Number: ABC123
Make: <maker/brand>
Model: <model of the vehicle>
Year: <year of the vehicle>
Color: <color of the vehicle>
Registered Last: <date when the vehicle was last registered>
Has no LTO apprehension  <if it has no violation>
Has no LTO alarm <if it is not a hot car>

It is 2.50 pesos per text message.

I already tried this service and it actually works!
