I found a cool site that allows you to update multiple social services/sites like twitter, facebook, myspace, jaiku, pownce, bebo, linkedin, hi5, plaxo, brightkite, etc all with one post. If you have web access on your phone you can go to m.hellotxt.com or you can do it online at their full version website. Oh, there is also a facebook application that I love, since I'm always on facebook!

T-Mobile's buyers remorse policy is 14 days, except in California where their California Consumer Bill of Rights allows 30 days. – michaelicious, on June 21, 2008 04:48

On my phone. I get a "Access Denied" reply SMS when I try to send messages to twitter. It has been happening for a couple of weeks now. – Jessie, on May 14, 2008 20:29

If you have a long-term T-Mobile contract plan, that's expected. The only problem now is with FlexAccount plans, for which ALL shortcodes are disabled.

I have a tmobile acct with family text unlimited and I get my tweets jsut fine

Apparently, T-Mobile FlexAccounts STILL have shortcodes disabled. The only recourse is to complain:

I told T-Mobile that I'm canceling my subscription and going to another provider, even if I have to get a contract now. I'm hugely frustrated with them.

Thanks, Jenn and Cameron.

I downloaded TinyTwitter. Nice to see there are options for those of us who can't (or don't want to) utilize SMS.

I checked my order receipt and T-Mobile only gives 20 days for returns. I just missed the deadline, so I'll be sticking it out with them.

Jenn replied on March 02, 2008 19:38 to the problem "T-Mobile is blocking Twitter" in Twitter:

Cristal,
If you do choose to stay with T-Mobile, and have a smartphone, try using TinyTwitter. It's a small app that installs right on your phone. I'm using that to be able to update Twitter and receive updates from others via the display of my friends list.

If you don't have a smartphone, there are small apps for cell phones that have JavaScript on them. I'm just not sure of the names of those programs off the top of my head...

Cameron Walters replied on March 02, 2008 18:52 to the problem "T-Mobile is blocking Twitter" in Twitter:

you might be able to return that phone and get AT&T still. I know that AT&T has a 30 day grace period when you buy a phone, where you may cancel the contract with no penalty. T-mobile may have the same policy.

Cristal replied on March 02, 2008 08:51 to the problem "T-Mobile is blocking Twitter" in Twitter:

I have a Flex account as well, with unlimited messages, and am having the same problem as Jenn. I can utilize some short message codes, but unfortunately the Twitter service is one that doesn't work. I wish I had tried this out when I signed up with T-Mobile a few weeks ago. I probably would have gone with AT&T.

Jenn replied on February 24, 2008 19:40 to the problem "T-Mobile is blocking Twitter" in Twitter:

I have T-Mobile and have the same issue. In my case, I can't send updates to 40404, or really send/receive anything to any five digit address, because I have a flex account. Because of the risk of racking up charges with the five digit numbers, they're blocked from my use.

Is anyone still having issues that seem to be T-Mobile specific? I know that Twitter has been having some issues but afaik those are (mostly) resolved. I am not getting more than half of the tweets to my SMS that I should be. I also get the "Service is Unavailable" message a couple times a week when trying to send to 40404.

Is anyone else seeing similar problems?

Wrong.

The Telecommunications Act is about phone companies blocking other phone companies (and, by extension, phone numbers served by other phone companies). Phone companies are allowed to block short codes because they're not real phone numbers. It's a weird loophole, but it's legal.

It's time to drop the pseudo-legal arguments about neutrality, because they don't apply. Even the guy who started this noise admits he was wrong -- he just wasn't principled enough to admit in any of the forums he spammed.

Ignore my comment, apparently a CSR at t-mobile "helpfully" blocked 40404 from my number when I sent in an inquiry last week asking WTF was going on between t-mobile and Twitter.

I'm a British t-mobile user and its now heading towards a week since I received a single update, though I've managed to send an update today. Any ideas?

While it was working through Sunday for me, I now get "Access denied." SMS'd back to me any time I try to SMS 40404 from a T-mobile phone.
