Text 2600

[Radical!]

Hope there's no existing thread on this (i've done 6 searches already) I don't know if this belongs to the Thumbs up headquarters, so I leave it to the mods to decide.

Here it goes...

There's a new text service provided by LTO/Stradcom to verify authenticity and status of a motor vehicle or driver's license holder.

For Vehicle verification:
Text: LICENSE PLATE <license plate number> (no spaces) and send to 2600 P 2.50 per text. You will receive in about 20 seconds the Make, Model, Year, Color and will know if there's an existing apprehension or LTO alarm.

For Driver's license information:
Text: LTO LICENSE <license number> (no spaces/dash) and send to 2600 P 2.50 per text. In 20 seconds or so, you will receive information regading license validity, existing apprehension (if any) and LTO alarm (if any).

I find the License plate service very convenient for those seeking authenticity or matches on the plate number or any aprehension record of any vehicle you are about to purchase. For the license service, it's convenient for those hiring drivers to check the authenticity of the applicant's driver's license. No need to cue up in an LTO office anymore.

Thumbs up to the LTO!

Enjoy!

bro, invalid keyword daw.

Just tried it now, it works. Make sure to text this only LTO LICENSE <license number> for license details and LTO VEHICLE <license plate number> and send to 2600. For example:

Text LTO VEHICLE ZBH334 then send to 2600.

hmmm. mukhang malaking tulong ito lalo na sa Tsikot classifieds, potential buyers can ask the sellers for the license plate number for verification muna, before making a face to face transaction

[mazingerZ]

Galeng, it works . . .

[mcbry]

thanks for the info.

Happy to share. I read that this is just a 'teaser.' LTO/Stradcom will expand the information and add additional services in the near future.

I tried verifying my ride's plate no. and i got a response after approx. 20 sec.
all the info on my ride were all correct. but re my license, i tried verifying it, and i got a "No record found", i guess another case of an agency which is not updated in uploading their files.

Malaking tulong ito sa ating mga mamamayan na nangangailangan ng serbisyo ng LTO, mabuhay po kayo Chairman Suansing!

Maraming salamat din sayo Radical !

Nice move by LTO.

Pero sana in the near future they can add yung engine and chassis code. Hindi kumpleto ang verification kung wala ito.

I texted it, no reply yet. Is it still active?

[libranfox]

For those who encountered "No Records Found", my friend from Stradcom said that it normally happens for brand new cars, especially those that got special plates, ex. you got ABC 888.

This is what we should do, according to my friend :

1. Check our OR if it indicates the correct plate that was issued to us. Normally they assign something like TMP 08 (I experienced this). This means that we were assigned a Temporary Plate.

2. So if you already have your permanent plate with you, please ask your dealer to coordinate with the LTO office where your car was registered. LTO will then update your data to the computer.

3. Hence, when we search we can already see our plates.

4. Check also if your transaction is computerized (the OR is not typewritten)

I'll ask if we can get a hotline number where we can report these type of cases.

Thanks !

For those with problems on 'No Records Found', according to my friend from the Stradcom, this normally occurs for brand new cars and you registered it for the 1st time.

According to him, we need to make sure :

I sent:
LTO VEHICLE AAA1625R1

I thought to include R1 at the end of the new plate# format. Doesnt work. The reply was:

"Invalid plate# format, must be 4 to 6 characters. P2.50 per text."

Paano na po ba, eh the new format has 7 characters???

[Fandong]

this doesnt work most of time even with the old plate numbers. And that's old news - what else can we expect from our government?
