SMS not appearing on Twitter (UK)

had the same problem since friday.
tried to re-verify my phone but it now won't accept the verification.
i'm on O2

I've had the same problem since Thursday last week. I'm on O2 as well. I can get delivery notifications and read receipts though, but nothing appears in m timeline on Twitter.

I have the same problem, but not from UK, but Czech Republic

I have the same problem as does a friend of mine - from an O2 mobile in the UK

Same here, in Greece.

Twitter will not let me update from my phone.
My phone says it can't send my SMS to twitter.
I am getting other peoples updates on my phone.
But can not send my own.
I have a t-mobile sidekick, I'm in the USA

Same issue from Australia. SMS not getting to twitter. I'm on Virgin Mobile (which piggybacks on Optus network).

I'm having the same problem - but in Australia, on the Optus network.

Fingers crossed it gets worked out soon. SMS is sometimes the only way I can tweet. :(

All my tweets I sent from a verified mobile via German provider Simyo/E-Plus yesterday went to /dev/null.

I am trying to register an O2 mobile and it does not seem to be working for me.

Having similar problem in US. Text message updates do finally show up, but at times it's like 4 or 5 hours later. Looks like I'm really late to the convo.

In the states, SMS incoming delivery is fine (I'm on AT&T/iPhone). But outgoing messages through SMS don't show up on the timeline until 3-5 HOURS after being sent.

I'm in UK on an O2 contract.

My account is PIN protected and has been since the last time all UK users had a problem sending SMSs (last year some time - we all had to set PINs to make it work).

I'm using tweetdeck when I'm at a PC but I'm out and about a lot so would rather SMS.

When sending tweets about this via tweetdeck, I'm hashtagging it #uk_sms_FAIL in the possibly futile hope that if the tag starts gaining weight in Twitscoop we might get a response...

I'm on 3 with same problem. Didn't notice for a couple of days. Annoying. SMS is on orange status on Twitter status page - is that what it means? More info would be nice.

I've submitted a support request on this, including a link back to here.

I'm a bit surprised no one from twitter has responded or acknowledged the problem, especially as the UK is the largest expanding twitter market in the world at the moment. In the last four days, how many new users will have tried the SMS function, got a fail and dismissed it as 'twitter not being great'?

I'm wondering if the rapid expansion - due to all the press it's been geting the past couple of weeks/Chris Moyles banging on about it on the Radio 1 brakfast show, etc, is what's caused the problem? overload. It's very annoying though! I twittered live scores throughout an ice hockey game last weekend and not one text got through. So nobody got any score updates and I wasted a ton of texts

@roo17 - I'm 'blaming' @stephenfry for the increasing demand myself. ;)

It's annoying because I travel a lot and the site is barred at work, so SMS is the most effective means of tweeting. I also want to use the new train update service (http://uktrains.pbwiki.com/) but there's currently no point.

It's been over a week for me now , and part of me is wondering whether it is an intentional restriction of service connected with the sale of Twitter end of last week. Are they restricting the sms service because it costs them money and they don't actually seem to make any? They already stopped UK users receiving text updates and killed off the I want sandy thing? I've put in a service request and tweeted the twitter status blog, but nothing as yet. If the problem doesn't even get acknowledged by Twitter, what is the point of this get satisfaction thing?

I have the same problem for Irish mobiles.

This is also a problem for me, I'm on Orange and my Tweets from my phone stopped showing up around Thursday (February 12th).

Ditto ditto. I'm on Vodafone, no tweets via text showing since Thursday. Also filed a Twitter support message although I didn't know about this site at that point.

I'm on virgin mobile and have the same problem.

I've had an auto response to the fault ticket - 5 to 7 working days for a response.

Can any twitter employee on here acknowledge the fault is being worked on? This doesn't seem to be an isolated case, after all...

On an Orange mobile in the UK I have the same trouble.

But I've been roaming in Geneva for two days, and my texts got through OK from there.

I'm having the same problem, and my last successful txt update was on Thurs 12th at 4.45pm. I'm on O2 in the UK. Tried deleting and re-registering but it's not working. Phone says the txts are being sent fine but theyre not getting there. Something must've happened to the UK txt service on Thursday last week then! I messaged the support peoples and still no reply. Been using mobile web, but that costs me money where as texts dont, so very annoying!

Aaah, good news! My txt updates have just started working again! Noticed a little 'Device Updates" link in the right bar of my homepage, so I thought I'd give it a go and it's registered and updated right away! That's on my o2 phone, so give it a go, thy may just have fixed it :)

woohoo! I just deleted my phone and then re-registered and now my text updates are getting through. (I did try this earlier in the week too with no luck so they must have fixed something)

Does look like it's working again in the UK - I deleted my phone and re-registered so don't know if that's necessary or not

All fixed here too; just deleted and re-registered. Would have been nice for us to have some acknowledgement from Twitter about this though.

I tried to re-register my phone. But I still can't send text's too twitter =/

Mine is all fixed: did not have to re-register the phone.

Got through again. Hope it lasts.

Still not fixed here. Can't send txt to 40404 but other short codes like GOOGLE work. It was working (same carrier and phone) when I first activated months ago but now it doesn't that I'm trying to reactivate.

I am on O2 in the UK and I cannot update my Twitter via my phone! I thought it was fixed?

Will this be fixed anytime soon?? Several friends have the same problem. Actually thinking about deleting all their profiles with Twitter. At the moment I do agree and could not recommend Twitter. Seemed such a nice idea but very disappointing.
