Hello. May I ask -- from what phone number do you receive the updates for people that you follow? Is it also 40404?

If yes, what is the status of your phone when you check http://twitter.com/devices ? – mdy, on October 02, 2008 07:36

No idea, but CBW's international page makes no mention of additional fees.

hoppimike and others:

I like your petition idea!

If you're interested in following this up, I described the problem and suggested some alternatives in this post about Twitter's international SMS number.

I included lots of links; please follow them!

If enough of you indicate your support for any ideas you find useful, Twitter may get interested too.

ok, well i just learnt what probably MOST of this problem is caused by...

apparently if you're outside of the US, canada and india you can submit tweets (hehe, tweet ^_^ ) but not receive updates and stuff... which is a bit of a shame!

Let's write a petition! lol

I agree. Metropcs is crap for not allowing short codes and for forcing you to use their partners for graphics/ring tones/etc. – Jennifer L Murphy, on September 21, 2008 15:18

I didn't know that's Canada's short code... anybody know if CBW will charge us out the ass for "texting internationally"?

Eridanus: Yes that is correct. It's all our provider's (CBW) fault. – Master Bob, on September 09, 2008 23:06

Do I get this right? You're both in the USA - but successfully using Twitter's short code for Canada? I like it! (Bet it won't work for me in Germany, though). – Eridanus, on September 09, 2008 21:11

I'm a Cincinnati Bell customer. Using the 40404 code does not work ... on the other hand using the 21212 code does work for me.

That s**ks, as they say. I'd often wondered if +447624801423 worked in short-code countries if all else failed. Now I know that they did - once upon a time... Thanks, anyway. – Eridanus, on August 16, 2008 17:23

T-Mobile (Sidekick service) doesn't support shortcode.Gotta use the UK number. At least, that's the only help I've found on here that works. – DaintyVillian, on August 16, 2008 17:14

DaintyVillain: Out of interest, since you're in the USA: Did *you* ever have to text via +447624801423, and why? Normally, 40404 would be your Twitter number. – Eridanus, on August 16, 2008 17:12

Yup. You have to send your tweets to the UK number, and you can't recieve tweets back. Suck. – DaintyVillian, on August 16, 2008 16:00
