Old text-message tweets being reposted as new ones
Tweets I sent from my phone via SMS over a week ago are reappearing as entirely new tweets. As far as I can tell the original txt tweets don't go anywhere, the content is just reposted entirely. (For example: http://twitter.com/coldacid/statuses/... is the original tweet, which Twitter reposted three days later at: http://twitter.com/coldacid/statuses/... )
I had originally considered this to be an issue with my mobile service provider sending them multiple times, but I found out that some users with another service provider have the same problem. My provider is Telus; the other one with the same problem is Rogers. Seems that Bell Canada is not affected.

Inappropriate?This is happening with Fido too.
Some people were saying Twitter was just updating lost tweets, but every tweet that is reposted WAS NOT lost, and still exists. I have maybe 5 of the same tweet that seems to be getting posted every week since I sent it 5 weeks ago.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I've been having this problem too for the last few weeks. I'm on Rogers Wireless. It's getting incredibly frustrating as people start replying to the re-posted tweets, thinking I've just sent it.

Inappropriate?I am having the exact same problem, only I'm with Rogers at the moment. My tweets from several weeks ago are re-posting and people keep on thinking that they're recent.

Inappropriate?Good description, Chris. I'm also having this problem (as is a friend on my list.)
Cell phone is hooked up through Rogers Wireless. Very frustrating. Roughly ten re-tweets per week (only from txt.)
This seems to be a problem unique to Canada?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Yeah, it does seem to be a uniquely Canadian issue. Seems it's not happening to Bell users, however... Very curious. Perhaps Twitter & Bell are conspiring? ;)
-
Inappropriate?Actually, someone else I follow is on Bell. I recall seeing a tweet of his back when Twitter announced outgoing SMS to Bell only.
And his text tweets were resposting today as well.
Apparently no Canadian is safe!
I’m unsure

Inappropriate?I'm with Bell and I've been having this problem for a few weeks now. It's incredibly frustrating and I've received no help.
I’m annoyed

Inappropriate?No solution here either - I'm with Virgin Mobile in Canada and having the same problem.
I tried disabling twittering from my phone, cleaned out my outbox and sent texts, then reenabled my phone for twitter. The next day, an old tweet showed up AGAIN.
So frustrated.

Inappropriate?Crystal at twitter has taken this on - she's got it up on the known issues board here -

Inappropriate?I'm getting the same problem, but I live in the UK, so it must be a world wide thing :/
I'm on Vodafone.
I’m confused
