I know it sounds silly considering that there are about a million different twitter clients out there for most platforms but there should be a twitter client for every internet enabled phone platform. That means people don't need the over priced sms feature as 10p for a couple of hundred bytes is a total rip off. I have a twitter client for my blackberry and it works like a charm and does not dent my data allowance.

hate to burst the bubble, but we DO pay for incoming texts, $0.15 each unless you are on a special plan.

depending on the carrier, each text can cost up to $0.40 (25c to send, 15c to receive), I vaguely remember someone working this out in a cost per meg and it was in the thousands of dollars.

Mine's the one with the deactivated cell phone in the pocket.

Please stop. My keyboard and monitor can't take any more coffee being sprayed all over them!

Actually, only two of the three TELCOs in Canada charge for incoming SMS: Bell and TELUS.

Rogers does not charge for incoming text messages.

"then Twitter could return to Europe at least, which seems as good a reason as any to campaign against such a change"

Ha! Nice one.
