Free SMS (text) results service

By the founding editor | Thu 3rd May 2007 - 2:44 pm

I’ve just heard from former Lib Dem Voice man Will Howells, now of party HQ, that you can text “follow libdems” to 07781 488126 for election night results from Party HQ (results will also be available at www.libdems.org.uk). The texts you receive from the service are free.

When you text the number, you are signing up to a free service called Twitter. You will get a reply saying “Awesome! Please reply with your preferred Twitter username.” Text back the username you like to use on websites, and you’ll be signed up. You can then use your username on the Twitter website later to unsubscribe from the texts if you like.

Note: Texts will apparently run through the night, so remember to put your phone on silent when you go to sleep!
