Halp! Aftermarket ROM won't receive texts on its own.

[GarrettSR5]

I purchased this phone off craigslist from a very nice guy who put a ROM on it. I quite like the ROM it has on it, not sure what it is though Anyway to find out? When I go to about it says it's windows 6.5 Pro and when I start it up it says FORCE DEVELOPMENT with a picture of yoda C2008 NoChem then Codefest 2009
But I do not get any text messages until I either make a phone call or send myself a text then they all come flooding in.
Any ideas?

THanks fellas
