Twitter with Vodafone NZ
Posted by Zeb in Random on May 18th, 2009 | 8 commentsOld news but re-posting anyway as this is most exciting for myself and fellow friends who are on Twitter… and if you’ve never heard of Twitter, get upto speed!
Vodafone New Zealand has signed an agreement with Twitter allowing customers to send updates to and receive TXT notifications from the ever popular messaging network used to share and discover what’s happening – right now. Only Vodafone customers are able to use this service in New Zealand.
Vodafone customers will be able to receive TXT messages from people they choose to follow via TXT on Twitter and send messages to a short code (TWTR/8987) for their “tweets”, @replies, or to follow someone on the go.
Best of all, regular TXT charges will apply to customers sending tweets via TXT and all TXT message updates sent from Twitter will be free of charge.

Joy! This will make it much easier to roam and Twit for those of us not lucky (or rich) enough to afford 3G

That’s cool news. I’m not exactly a prolific twitterer, but receiving tweets for free is pretty nice. Thanks for blogging about it. Looks like there’s a bit of a wait till it’s up and running, but will be good when it does.

I’m glad it came in useful for you John! I remember when Twitter first came out and we, here in NZ could use the free service to update Twitter. It was really nifty to have, so it’ll be nice to have that option available again!
Good to be with Vodafone.

Uh huh! ^_^
I can’t wait for it to start!
Hun get yourself a gravatar so you can have your own personalised image showing, instead of whatever this blog generates for you.

The cool thing is that where ever you comment, that supports OpenID, it’ll show your personalised image
Thanks for stopping by my blog. It’s great to see another friendly face
Yeah you’re right. Comments look much better with the gravatars.
@Lesserbeing Although the word “Gravatar” makes me think of a pregnant avatar.

BWAHAHAAHAH XD
Soon as I read that I thought “gravid”
@Lesserbeing
And I highly approve of your choice of avatar!
