Free Twitter texts back on Orange

[finisterre]

I had some reports last night at the game that Orange subscribers had started receiving score updates again.

 

I've done a bit of checking, and it seems that Orange and Twitter have finally come to an arrangement and relaunched the facility.

 

If you wish to avail yourself of this free service, text FOLLOW BTFC (for score updates) or FOLLOW BTFCNEWS (for news articles) to 86444. (Or sign up for an account at http://twitter.com and you can manage it all in the Twitter web interface).

 

So that's Vodafone, O2 and Orange who are now providing the free text service.

 

Commands you can text to 86444:

 

Turning Twitter off and on: device notifications

 

* ON: turns ALL phone notifications on.

* OFF, STOP, QUIT, End, Cancel, Arret or Unsubscribe: turns ALL phone notifications off.

* ON username: turns on notifications for a specific person on your phone. For example, ON alissa.

* OFF username: turns off notifications for a specific person on your phone. For example, OFF blaine.

* FOLLOW username: this command allows you to start following a specific user, as well as receive SMS notifications. Example: follow jermy
