Twitter SMS shutdown explained

• Zeromus 18y ago
  I use Twitterrific on the iPhone and SMS. I like SMS's because they're pushed to the phone, so I know straight away when somebody tweets. I read/tweet from Twitterrific. If (when?) Twitterrific can do push notification i'll be fine with losing SMS, but until then i'll just have to check for new tweets myself. I'm from Australia, one of the countries that just lost SMS's.

  Using email instead of SMS is not a terrible idea. I wonder how many twitter users (overseas) know how to check email from their phones.

    Looks like they are finding out. TwitterMail added a lot of new users in the last few hours: http://twittermail.com/ http://twittermail.com/

      "TwitterMail added a lot of new users in the last few hours" So many users that all I get to see at that URL is an orange rectangle on a white background?

        Hmm no, what kind of browser do you use? Send me a screenshot, if possible, at boris@bomega.com

  When will SMS die, can you imagine if your ISP charged you for IMing but let you surf the web (and do everything else) under your data plan?
