+447624801423. The plus sign is important. Bear in mind you’ll be charged whatever rate is set for international texts on your phone plan.

Can someone please tell me the exact number I put in my mobile to send updates to Twitter from Australia. I have tried varied versions using the country code but still haven't mastered it.
Thanks

Yes, if you’ve got the mobile net you’ve got many more options — but not everyone has. Even people who do sometimes end up stuck with GPRS, which kills many on-deck applications. Hence the demand for text.

I know not everyone has more advanced phones, but on iphone and surely on winmo and android you can get a full blown app and send and receive via the mobile net rather than via SMS and skip the 50-75c per to the UK? I use a twitter app on the iPhone.

For the record - I use twitsms as well (No, I don't work for them).

It actually gives me better control than I had over sms using twitter's sms service.

A SMS or TXT to the UK is 25c like all SMS’s through Most Carriers, But double check as some even want to charge for VoIP DATA calls with mobile rates.

Rather than wait for the “official” Twitter SMS to come back I use TwitSMS now and it seems to work well.
