i have unlimited texting on my phone, and even though i have email and web access on my phone, it doesn't work in my area (parts of vermont), so txting ping updates from my phone is paramount for me, otherwise, it's useless as i use brightkite (which DOES do this from my phone).

Hey you guys. I just posted to ping.fm via txt using my email address that ping gave me. Listen, they say it costs too much, then send a txt with your e-mail address it freaking works and there is no charge for a garage based site as awesome as this one. Just sayin

A shortcode might complicate matters. It might not work internationally. A regular GSM no should work fine, although it's harder to remember. I believe you can get incoming SMS gateways fairly inexpensively, but it still might be beyond the budget. – Callum Macdonald, on July 24, 2008 23:59

An example of the hyphens/spaces agitatedstate mentions is currently on my twitter profile page: http://twitter.com/reginarivera. I sent this update via my cellphone using my Ping email address. I'd like to NOT have them appear. Thanks! – regina, on July 07, 2008 19:51

Good point about Twitter's not-exactly-wonderful uptime. Still, I don't think it's a reason for not to implement the idea. You'd just have to add the caveat that Twitter isn't always that reliable. It hasn't stopped other services using Twitter. I am a massive fan of ping.fm and I use it a lot- but to be honest I would use it more (and recommend it to my non-techy friends) if we could have SMS- and using Twitter might be a start. – baritoneuk, on July 05, 2008 09:04

How come when I update ping.fm via email, it adds a couple of hyphens (and extra space) at the end of the message?

Brilliant idea. But, we would have to rely on Twitter's uptime which we all know, isn't too awesome.

Good thinking though.

I am sure it wouldn't be too difficult to send a direct message to ping.fm using Twitter. All that ping.fm would need to build was a Twitterbot. Then ping.fm wouldn't need to pay for any short codes- it would just use Twitter. That's what ChaCha, Remember the Milk, Timer and GCal do.

It's because you're used to local or short codes over there. I had to send international SMS to update Twitter so updating to a British number made no difference to me. It's only costing me 10c more per update. – Ancyru, on June 30, 2008 15:27

I was really excited for Ping.fm, but it's useless to me without being able to use a text message.
