Hi shrinkydinky. This one is a long shot, so I hope you'll bear with me -- Do sms notifications stop for periods of time and resume again soon after you send an sms update of your own?

I ask this because Twitter apparently automatically disables sms delivery if it believes the sms messages aren't getting to you successfully. (See this reply from @crystal in another thread for details)

It seems that Twitter also automatically resumes sms delivery if it hears from your phone (either by you posting an update or sending a direct msg, or by simply sending ON or HELP).

I experience this myself every couple of months, when I am in an area with no or low signal for short periods. When I get back to signal range I have to send ON for sms delivery to resume.

No sleep periods set (that was my first thought, that I'd inadvertently activated sleep) and the messages don't necessarily contain @replies, plus I get many other updates to my mobile featuring @replies from people I don't follow.

shrinkydinky:
Have you set a Sleep period in Settings - Devices?
You shouldn't receive any Twitter SMS during this time.

Further, I've occasionally seen tweets with the incorrect time stamp (sender's local time rather than my local time). I suspect that if the incorrect time falls within my sleep period, I won't receive these SMS, either.

Your @Replies setting in Settings - Notices may prevent you receiving SMS from people you're following whenever they direct @replies to people you don't follow.

I've been having intermittent problems with SMS updates and I'm not receiving all updates posted by people I follow with device updates turned on. It's not that I receive updates from some and not others, but that I'm receiving only some of the posts they make. Anyone experiencing similar problems, or is there a thread I haven't found about this?

thanks!

My sms notifications just suddenly stopped this morning. Got one at 9:34 a.m. and then nothing. I have removed my device and added it back three times. I have sent the "on" command. Nothing. All my friends are still getting their notifications normally.
