About a year ago, Twitter cancelled their text messaging service for their Canadian users, claiming high costs to them. Today, on their blog, Twitter announced it was back on, but only for Bell customers. This would allow Twitters to update their Twitter status and receive updates from those they follow via text message.
The Twitter announcement claimed “There are no limits and no added fees (beyond your normal texting plan).” However, now according to Bell, each incoming AND outgoing Twitter text message will cost users 15 cents each, even if you have an unlimited incoming or unlimited all messaging service.
This is a disappointment from either or both of these companies. At first, it looked to be a sign of progression, but now even worse than before. Other options for Twitter are TwitterBerry for Blackberry or Twittermail for Twitter using email. However, still the best way to use Twitter on a mobile device is with the iPhone.
Thanks to @robroc for this info.
