What happens if my subscription has expired before I have had a chance to top it up?

But, remember that right after you have received your last SMS notification, the system will immediately send you a friendly reminder that you need to subscribe again to receive SMS notifications.
Can I belong to more than one SMS community?
absolutely. For instance you can subscribe to your local Municipal Watchdog community, as well as your child's school. But remember you have to subscribe to each community to receive SMS messages from that community.
