Following on from my post the other day, it’s now official, and Electricpig.co.uk has confirmed it (thanks Ben!) – if you are on Vodafone, you’ll now be able to send and receive tweets for free.
Going forward, the sending of tweet-texts will become part of your bundle, but for the first few weeks at least, its all free. Receiving will be permanently free – which kinda breaks the concept that it’s better to give than receive, because giving costs 
The shortcode to text your Twitter SMS updates is apparently 86444, but before you get in to that bunch-a-shenanigans, you need to activate your number on Twitter. For those not on Voda (like me), we can also be hopeful of some tweet-love over the coming months – let’s hope sooner rather than later

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
