Does any of this help? http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/to...

No, I do have Tmo USA. Sending to the UK number is the only way I can get my updates through, it won't accept the shortcode.

@DaintyVillian The issue in this thread is a T-Mobile USA issue, I belive. You probably want to look at http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/to...

Haha man I've never seen that over SMS! Perhaps it has to do with the area or something. – Nathan, on August 14, 2008 20:18

The only thing I get, if I send an update to 40404 is "This service is unavailable with your current service plan" ...or something that. So I have to update to update to the UK number. IS there anyway to fix that?

A friend of mine just got "Service is temporarily down. Please try again later" .... anyone who has been tweeting from T-Mobile for a while knows that message all too well

My phone just started vibrating nonstop as if messages were being received--2 messages came through but the vibrating continues. Is this just me?

Ohhhhh. Sorry. You'll need to find a different solution, I think. Here are some of your options: # m.twitter.com works on browser-enabled phones

# m.slandr.net works on browser-enabled phones

# TwitterMail works on email-enabled phones

# Cellity works on java-enabled phones

# TwitterBerry works on BlackBerry brand phones

# Twitterific works on iPhones

But the problem is that I have tmo and when i update I have to send them to the UK number, because it wouldn't accept a shortcode...so I can't get tweets, since they don't send to UK numbers. At least that's what I've found online... – DaintyVillian, on August 14, 2008 19:39

Set it up online. Twitter.com->Settings->Devices. Then make sure you have SMS updates turned on for any specific Twitterer. – Nathan, on August 14, 2008 19:36

I have TMobile and don't get tweets at all...how can I change that?

@nathan I've had the problem multiple times before. Its becomming a common place to me, actually..... the thing is it's never been this bad before and I think because it's more severe this time more people are seeing it that didn't see it before.

bblboy54 replied on August 14, 2008 18:44 to the problem "Tweet SMS repeated four times on T-Mobile USA" in Twitter:

I had some SMS messages I sent to people on other networks that never made it to them but I haven't had an issue going to other T-Mobile phones so the problem doesn't seem limited to shortcodes but to anything outside of the T-Mobile network.

Nathan replied on August 14, 2008 18:44 to the problem "Tweet SMS repeated four times on T-Mobile USA" in Twitter:

@bblboy54 Oh I know it's Tmobile, I just don't think they're known for having this problem.

I am making an assumption, but since SMS services are affected, but regular SMS is not affected, I say it has something to do with the services with Short Codes (40404 - Twitter). I have had issues with communication between my network and other networks but I have not seen it as an issue solely with Suncom.

bblboy54 replied on August 14, 2008 18:37 to the problem "Tweet SMS repeated four times on T-Mobile USA" in Twitter:

Nathan, this is definately a T-Mobile issue (well, more appropriately it is probably an issue with the gateway service that T-Mobile uses -- which could be the same as Suncom which would explain the earlier reply). It can't be a Twitter problem if people are having the same issues with services other than Twitter.

Also, T-Mobile has not had a good track record for reliable SMS and they have been known to be idiots about it too....

Nathan replied on August 14, 2008 18:34 to the problem "Tweet SMS repeated four times on T-Mobile USA" in Twitter:

But isn't this different? I've never had any issues with Tmo before. Alltel seems to be the one with the continuing dupe issue!

bblboy54 replied on August 14, 2008 18:32 to the problem "Tweet SMS repeated four times on T-Mobile USA" in Twitter:

I called T-Mobile just now and they reset my phone and network settings and then after the reboot I lost ALL sms ability. I'm having duplicates being received and sent and I'm having SMS messages resent hours later. I may get a tweet via SMS now and get 2 copies of it and then 4 hours later I'll get another 3 copies of the same message. This isn't happening just with Twitter, however, as I'm having the same issues with BrightKite and other SMS services.

Isn't it ironic that T-Mobile is raising their per message SMS rates at the end of the month and the services is getting worse and worse leading up to it?
