The Tuscan recalls that in your previous anouncement of this service, you qualified your statement with sinister closing words "free...for now.
Great service, have been using it for a few weeks now.
I have the misfortune of travelling to Dubai in a week's time. I wonder if the free service applies overseas or will my network provider still charge you for texts recieved overseas with this service?
Perhaps I should check with my network provider rather than Guido!
It was a pain in the arse to sign up to.
Twitter are paying the SMS charges at the moment, however some network operators do apply charges to end-users. T-Mobile UK, for example, have been known to do this. You should be able to obtain a refund for any charges against your bill if you play the "I didn't know" card - obviously only works once.
Other international operators may also apply charges. The messages originate from the Channel Islands, at least they do for UK-based subscribers.
It's really easy to sign up to Twitter - only takes about 30 seconds tops. If you get stuck you should perhaps ask if technology is for you...
