Inappropriate?+1
I don't seem to receive tweets or tracks anymore.
When I send 'ON', I get the reply Updates are on. Turn them off by sending 'off'. I've got a PIN code on my device settings, and I need it to send Twiter sms commands, so I'm certain my phone is verified correctly.
I haven't changed my phone settings. And since the week just started I should be well within my 250 sms/week limit.
I use the +44 sms gateway.
I’m sure it'll get all sorted out soon enough

Inappropriate?Just got two track alerts via sms. Will post again if I receive more.
I’m in a good mood

Inappropriate?Have lost sms again despite sending ON several times.
Re-verified my phone just now and received a track alert, but I don't seem to be getting regular tweets even though people I'm following have posted updates.
Also, my number of Received SMS (in the sidebar) has been stuck at 0/250 since verifying.
Anyway, there seem to be a lot of new threads that talk about this sms problem. I'm tagging the recently created ones with 'sms-may2008' to make them easier to find.

Inappropriate?Just noting that I started to receive sms again around an hour ago, even though I hadn't just sent ON.
I don't know if I'm missing any tweets, though, since I haven't had a chance to compare what I actually received vs. what I should have received. -
Inappropriate?Still no joy, I've deleted and registered my iPhone, that worked fine, but still no tweets by SMS. Is this a UK / O2 thing or is it wider than that? I've notice that after sending ON via SMS I manage to get 1 tweet but then stops again.
I’m Sad

Same experience here for most of today. I get one msg after re-verifying my phone, then it stops working. Having said that, sms msgs (tweets, direct msgs, and track alerts) have been coming in for me the past 3 hours or so. I'm really hoping this means it'll be 100% fixed soon. -
Inappropriate?Yeah no tweets go to my phone at all now... so sad. Twitter, please be my friend again.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?No joy on my iPhone either. friends on Orange having problems as well.
I’m missing twitter
-
Inappropriate?Yeah and it happened all of a sudden... kinda strange. Been using Twitter for almost a year with no problems.
I’m confused
-
Inappropriate?It wont last, i have done that 6 times now, it works for a bit the stops again, if you also notice your sms count on your twitter page does not change, there is a problem with twitter and it needs sorting out as its really annoying, seems to be a UK thing, I am on vodafone
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Heck, I'm in the US and I haven't been able to receive any tweets from the start. I can update from my phone just fine, and it says sms is on, but nothing ever comes through. I'm on att/cingular. No love for me.
I’m sad panda

I'm in Canada and having the same issue. Using Telus. -
Inappropriate?i don't even get email updates, im updates or sms updates. i have to go to my account to see the updates.
I’m sad as heck!
-
Inappropriate?Same problem as you guys/gals, O2 on an iphone and I'm not getting any.
I’m dissapointed

Inappropriate?Same problem here with Optus in Australia using the +44 UK number. Everything was working fine until last Saturday, which whould be Friday US time. I've sent 'On' twice now but still no SMS reminders.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?I have just started receiving DMs via SMS again as of about 30mins ago, so hopefully the problem is sorting itself out. SMS updates have never stopped working for me (Australia, 3)
I’m happy
-
Inappropriate?I've been receiving tweets for the past 15 hours. They started coming in again on May 6 Tue around 8pm GMT+8 (or May 6 Tue 5am PST).
I find that I'm getting everything that I'm supposed to get -- Track alerts, Updates from people I'm following, and Direct Messages.
However, I'm sure the problem isn't completely fixed because I just checked my "Received SMS" in the sidebar and it reads 0/250.
I use the +44 Twitter sms number. I'm in the Philippines.
I’m grateful to be enjoying this temporary state of "unlimited sms"
-
Inappropriate?Still quiet for me.
-
Inappropriate?Me too! I tried everything, no sms...
I'm in France, my carrier is Orange and my phone is a Nokia.
I use the +44 number.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Problem seems to been sorted, at least for me. SMS's started coming through again late last night and are still coming through this morning.
I’m thankful
