Today we have launched Twitter SMS in Australia with our partner Telstra. As always, it is free to receive notifications and standard text messaging rates apply to sending. It’s the same pricing as sending and receiving text messages from friends. Give it a try by sending “START” to 0198089488 . Once you have your phone associated with your Twitter account try following @Telstra by sending “FOLLOW Telstra” to 0198089488 . Or follow one of these popular accounts via SMS by sending “FOLLOW” and the username. @ australian (News from The Australian newspaper) @ delta_goodrem (Musician) @ kyleandjackieo (Australia’s #1 radio show) @ DanniiMinogue (Team Minogue judge for The X Factor) @ KevinRuddPM (Prime Minister)

I’ll use @Mashable as an example: the Pete Cashmore account has tweeted over 20,000 times in its history. Yet the tweet count has dropped from that number...
