Yesterday Twitter reached a deal with O2, Apple’s exclusive iPhone network provider, that will enable ALL O2 customers to both send and receive updates from Twitter.
Last year Twitter removed all SMS access for UK tweeters due to high SMS costs. Earlier this year Vodaphone subscribers got back access.
O2 customers can find out how to enable the SMS feature on Twitter’s blog:
“To Twitter over SMS with your iPhone or any other mobile, head over to your account settings and activate your device. The Twitter shortcode in the UK is 86444 if you want to save it in your address book.”
O2’s Apple iPhone users can also download free apps from the iTunes App Store such as Twitterific, Seesmic and Tweedeck that will also enable you to post messages on Twitter without the use of SMS.
