O2 recently announced its agreement with Twitter which would allow the O2 users to get twitter updates via SMS. The deal would allow all O2 users to receive SMS alerts for messages from chosen friends, @mentions and direct messages through SMS. O2 users can start receiving twitter alerts on their phone for free from August. The O2 users can also reply to the tweets via SMS (Standard SMS charges would be applicable to these replies).
"We believe that mobile will soon become the most popular way of accessing social networking sites, giving real time access to tweets and status updates wherever you are," said Antony Douglas, Head of Content at O2. "The agreements we now have in place with Twitter and the other key sites brings this a step closer, making it quick and easy for O2 customers to access their favourite social networks straight from their mobile."
The Twitter deal adds up to O2’s existing deals with Facebook and Bebo. Now the O2 users can receive free updates through three major social networking websites. The users would have to moderate the service if they receive more than 600 SMS for a month through all the three networks combined.
