Twitter announced today that for the first time, it is introducing twitter-MMS based service in association with orange UK. The service would be first introduced in the UK.
Here is the official Announcement:
“The UK has had an outsized cultural impact on the world. From music to sports to literature… and now – MMS with Twitter.
Today, not only has Orange UK turned on Twitter SMS, but it has added a first-of-its-kind special enhancement. Orange UK users can also send picture messages (MMS) to 86444 in addition to text messages because of a site that Orange UK has created called Snapshot. The best part is that it is incredibly simple to use:
1. Take a photo on your Orange mobile phone
2. Select ‘Send via MMS’ or ‘Send multimedia message’
3. Send it to 86444Twitter does not charge for this service. It’s just like sending and receiving messages with your friends — your carrier’s standard messaging rates apply. Give it a try by sending a text message to 86444 with the word “START.” This means that with the same shortcode, 86444, UK users can tweet via SMS with Vodafone, O2, and now Orange.”
So what do you say, would you want this this service in your country?
