Twitter will send messages to my phone?
Why when I insert my mobile phone I have to check the "It’s okay for Twitter to send txt messages to my phone. Standard rates apply."? How many messages Twitter will send to me? Why? I want only to send, not to receive. So I'm in control of my twittering expenses...
I’m unsure

Inappropriate?I think it's just so that if you change your mind later, you've already agreed to receive Twitter sms -- there would be no need for you to log in again and give your permission.
The number of messages that Twitter will send to you depends entirely on your device settings. If you set your devices to "OFF" then you can still update your Twitter account and not receive anything. -
Inappropriate?still, i refuse to sign my name, as it were, to something i don't actually agree with. i NEVER want to receive anything from twitter, and i definitely don't want to be charged for it. if i check this box, twitter will be within their rights to start sending me texts anytime they want, and that is not acceptable.
I’m indignant

Inappropriate?Hi,
The "standard rates apply" notice is required by law for anyone who chooses to use their phone with our, or any SMS providing, service. We are required to remind you that using text messages will incur fees from your carriers. Unless you check the box verifying that you realize text messages will potentially incur charges, we will not allow you to verify your phone.
Depending on your plan, there are potential charges incurred even if you only send SMS to Twitter, and do not receive messages on your phone. Carriers can charge for outgoing messages, or on a per message basis. Checking the box means that you understand that your carrier is going to charge you their standard rate for text messages.
If you do not feel comfortable checking the box, I would encourage you to explore other methods of updating, such as our mobile web client, m.twitter.com, or a 3rd party application like Twittermail.
Thanks!

Inappropriate?I'm already set up with my account on Twitter to receive phone messages (but only for two people I'm following) how can I manage this. I mean, how can I turn off and on people I'm following to receive messages, now that my phone is already set up for it? I couldn't find it in the settings. Please help.
I’m anxious
