tweetSMS is back!

28 August, 2008 (05:07) | Technology | By: Ellie


I just got started with twitter a week or two ago, and so far, I have found dozens of programs, browser add-ons and website applications that are helpful to Twitter users around the world.

Perhaps a much-needed one is tweetSMS, which is back for international users who want to use SMS messaging for Direct Messages from other Twitter users.

The pricing of tweetSMS looks pretty reasonable, but I can imagine for many tweeters, they won’t need this service - but if you are not near a computer and want to make SURE you get Direct Messages, check out tweetSMS and get 15 free credits just for signing up!
