Twitter - Changes for Some SMS Users—Good and Bad

Twitter SMS
Ive had a few people contact me about not receiving SMS updates from Twitter in the last few days. For those of us addicted to twitter and not afraid to admit it the loss of the SMS service for updates to your cell phone if you are in Australia is sad but inevitable to be honest.

Basically it comes down to the SMS costing twitter way to much $$$$, but with twitter clients being available for the iPhone I’m sure we will survive.

    I was lucky enough to transition over to the iPhone shortly before the cessation of Twitter’s SMS updates. If I hadn’t been so lucky I would surely feel very disheartened at being cut off from Twitter when away from my computer.

    That’s an example one of the reasons I went with the iPhone 3G, the amount of apps (free & paid) coming out for iPhone, and the iPhone OSX and SDK versatility and support.

    The touch screen, slick and intuitive interface is excellent. Meaning even my non-tech friends are able to use it straight off the bat.

    I’m no MacHead (My main computer is running Vista/XP), but software sells the hardware.

    Something Samsung, Nokia or Motorola still at present are not able to match.
