Twitter SMS Commands

Most people know they can link their cell phone to Twitter to send and receive various data. What some people don't know is they can do other things via SMS such as following someone, unfollowing someone, getting a user's profile, and more. Here are some common commands you can use.

*Note if you do not have you cell linked to your Twitter account, log into Twitter. Then got o Settings>Devices to set it up and change your texting preferences. The # to send messages to is 40404. I save it as "Twitter" in my address book.

  • ON: turns ALL phone notifications on.

  • OFF: turns ALL phone notifications off.
  • STOP, QUIT: stops all messages to your phone immediately
  • ON username: turns on notifications for a specific person on your phone. For example, ON babymakes7.
  • OFF username: turns off notifications for a specific person on your phone. For example, OFF babymakes7.
  • FOLLOW username: this command allows you to start receiving notifications for a specific person on your phone. Example: follow babymakes7
  • LEAVE username: this command allows you to stop receiving notifications for a specific person on your phone. Example: leave babymakes 7

The above was pasted (and edited obviously) from Twitter's own help page. Check it out to see it and more commands.
