Not receiving any texts from twitter?

Hi. Could you kindly try sending ON to Twitter's number and see if you get a reply?

If your phone is listed as verified in http://twitter.com/devices and you still don't receive a reply when you send ON, I suggest you log a support ticket at http://twitter.com/help

If you *do* receive a reply to ON but you still don't get tweets from people you're following, could you kindly check the following:

1. On your home page sidebar at http://twitter.com/home, please see if your device is set to phone. If it's set to 'web-only' you won't receive tweets on your phone.

2. On your http://twitter.com/devices page, please see if your phone notifications are set to ON and not Direct Messages only or OFF. You won't receive anything if your device notifications are OFF.

3. On your friends page at http://twitter.com/friends, please see if you have device notifications ON for any of the people you're following. When we first follow someone, Twitter by default sets device notifications to OFF. We have to explicitly turn device notifications ON for the people we're following to receive anything via sms. This is how Twitter lets us choose whose msgs get sent to our phone.

Other considerations:

1. I know of at least one country (Italy), where Twitter can receive messages but will not send sms due to cost. However, since you mentioned the use of shortcodes, I'm going to assume that you're in the US or Canada.

2. If you *are* in Canada, there are apparently cases where Twitter has to do something extra before you can receive messages. Please see this related thread for that requirement.
