Anybody with a good solution how i can follow and receive twitter sms messages?
Thanks

Copied from apps4flip.com:

Instatext also supports twitter via sms. Send in the word menu to twit@instatext.org to learn more. Please note that this service is still in beta, as such please be patient as the InstaText team resoved all issues.

Hey there, we reached out to the instatext guy about this and he said that the beta is full, although he plans on opening up more slots in the next couple of weeks. We will be taking down the instructions for twitter from the website for now.

Thanks for bringing this to out attention

Great, can you update us when they open more slots? I've tried several times over the last few months, didn't work...

Amazing how you got through to him. Not easy to get through to him.
Weird how you guys advertise him. does he pay you?
LOL

Is the whole instatext down now? Not working for me

You can connect your Twitter account to GroupMe using IFTTT.com and tell it to post to GroupMe chat when a @whateveraccount tweets. You may also be able to do it straight to sms. There is a delay though, especially if there are alot of tweets, but if it's fine as long as you get it within the hour, it's a good option

mickrich347 well, it's not like anyone here (or anyone at all for that matter) is paying them.

He asked us to take down the page once the beta filled up. He plans on opening up more slots soon. Stay tuned.

How would I connect a Twitter account to groupme using ifttt.com?

Im think ifttt.com has a 100 action limit on twitter and sms

anonymousflipphone I'm not sure exactly what the limit is, but thats why theres a delay, they give you all tweets from the past hour every hour, that way it only counts as one action. also the groupme chat instead of sms might be different

Maybe groupme is different, but i think the action limit is on twitter as well...not 100% sure though...

anonymousflipphone I used it for a while with kolhaolam (before they made their text service) without any issues

anonymousflipphone I use it thru groupme and it works fine besides the delay

SamFried Interesting, never heard of it, but it looks like it can be a good solution for those who need it. Thanks

@DAVIDTWITTER whats the problem? Just click the link and enter your number, email, not-a-robot, and submit...

SamFried IFTTT-Twitter to GroupMe. Make a GroupMe group with only yourself in it.

chaimontherun I don't know if you realize, but it looks silly when you like your own post (especially every single one) and the IFTTT option was discussed already in this very thread, so there's no need to reinvent the wheel. And as a general tip usually replying to many messages that are months old, without any breakthrough solution, is usually more annoying than helpful. I think it's good for everyone to keep that in mind. (Sorry if I sound very negative, but I think it's letoeles harabim)
