Twitter SMS changes
You may have heard that, starting today, Twitter is no longer delivering outbound SMS to users outside of the USA, Canada, and India (for the full story, you can read Twitter’s announcement on their blog).
If you’re using RTM for Twitter outside of the above countries, this means it’s unfortunately no longer possible to receive direct messages from rtm via Twitter SMS (meaning that you won’t receive reminders or responses to commands that you send rtm). This functionality will continue working via Twitter’s other interfaces, just not SMS.
Regardless of where you live, you’ll still be able to add and update your RTM tasks by sending SMS to Twitter (as inbound SMS is unaffected).
Twitter are continuing to negotiate with mobile operators around the world, aiming to provide full two-way service via SMS in additional countries. Thanks to the terrific folks at Twitter for all their hard work!
