Example: >> @meangrape I love that song too! >> >> D [username] + message - sends that person a Direct Message that goes to >> their device, and saves in their web archive. >> You can also use M [username] + message to send a private message! >> Examples: d krissy want to pick a Jamba Juice for me while you're there? or >> m krissy wanna pick up a Jamba Juice for me while you're there? performs the >> same action. >> Note about DM fails: Your service provider may split SMS messages greater >> than 160 characters into multiple messages. In this case, the second message >> will post as a normal Tweet because it doesn't begin with d+username, as the >> first message did. Please be careful to ensure that your messages are under >> 160 characters. >> >> RETWEET [username] - sends that user's latest Tweet to your followers (also >> known as a Retweet). Example: RETWEET Charles or RT Charles >> SET LANGUAGE [language name] - selects the language you'd like to receive >> notifications in. Example: set language German >> WHOIS [username] - retrieves the profile information for any public user on >> Twitter. Example: whois jack or w jack, for short. >> LIKE [username] - likes that user's last Tweet (reply to any update with >> LIKE or * to mark it as a like if you're receiving it in real time). >> Examples: like crystal or * crystal >> STATS [username] - this command returns the given user's number of >> followers, how many people they're following, and their bio information. >> HELP - texting help, info, or aide to Twitter will bring up helpful tips. >> SET DISCOVER ON - by using this command, you opt-in to receive SMS >> notifications for top Tweets related to your interests. Please know that >> this feature is automatically enabled for all Twitter via SMS users. Note: >> this feature is only available in certain locations. >> SET DISCOVER OFF - turns off delivery of top tweets to your device. >> A few notes on SMS commands: >> >> Using ON/OFF [username] from your phone only stops notifications coming to >> your mobile phone; you'll still collect a person's updates on the web since >> you're still following them. >> Use UNFOLLOW [username] to unfollow a user via SMS. >> Use BLOCK [username] or BLK [username] to block a user via SMS. >> You can also use UNBLOCK [username] or UNBLK [username] >> Use REPORT [username] or REP [username] to report a user as spam. >> The following commands perform the same actions: FOLLOW = ON. And LEAVE = >> OFF. >> Following someone from a phone for the first time will also cause you to >> follow them on the web. >> You don't have to use ON/OFF [username] from your phone, you can also set >> individual notifications from a person's profile page on the web, or check >> your following page and manage all phone notification settings there. >> Need help? >> >> Visit our SMS Troubleshooting article for more information and tips. >> > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if > you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or > moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor and your owner is Cara Quinn - > you can reach Cara at [email protected] > > The archives for this list can be searched at: > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "VIPhone" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/viphone. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
