Tech News Beats

As we all know that Twitter is available only on Airtel mobile service in India and you need to send a message to special number to send tweets. Which in turn publishes your tweets (short messages) on Twitter website.

India: 53000 (Bharti Airtel customers)

Yes this is costly for frequent usage. As you will charged around Rs 2 -3 for sending sms to a special number. Or you will need to have Java enabled handset with GPRS enabled.

But don’t lose heart. SMSTweet has stepped in to help people like us who want to use Twitter and stay connected always! Now how much will it cost you? Let me give you a straight answer – depends on your mobile service plan. If you have free sms then you need not pay anything to send tweets. So the tick is to choose a better sms package. You may look for Tata Docomo who charges the first sms and then the next 100 sms is free for that day.

How does it work?

Visit the site – smstweet.in and register using your Twitter login ID and password. Then allow smstweet to access your Twitter account. You can also register by sending an sms ‘REGISTER ‘ to any of the following nos:

09220092200 (Mumbai)
09243000111 (Bangalore)

To start tweeting send sms in the format ‘TWT ‘ to any of the following nos:

09220092200 (Mumbai)
09243000111 (Bangalore

That’s it, you are set. As I mentioned earlier in the post, Twitter is available only on Airtel in India. To receive twitter messages on your mobile phone get a Airtel connection for you. Now that both sending and receiving cycle is complete, tweet and have fun!
