SMS not getting through
Currently it is hit and miss whether SMS get to/from Twitter. Both my tweets and those of others have a ~50% chance of getting through. I am on AT&T with a iPhone

I’m sad, and frustrated.

Inappropriate?• Your country: AUSTRALIA
• Your mobile carrier: Telstra
• The Twitter number: +44 7624 801 423
• Your Twitter username: dissembly
• Any other information you think might be relevant: I've been able to post via sms fine for a few months, and just last Saturday Twitter stopped updating my tweets via sms. Have sent three sms's since then, none have gone through.
Also, I checked with my mobile provider; i am definitely not blocked from international sms's or anything like that. They say that the sms's have definitely been recorded against my account, so the issue is not on the provider's end.
I’m sad
