If your country and carrier is not listed as having a short code above, you can use one of the following one-way long codes to post messages to Twitter. You will not be able to receive Tweets through this channel, however.
To add your phone to your Twitter profile via long code:
To test if you have correctly added your phone, send a "test" Tweet to your long code number (just like sending a normal text message). Then, log in to www.twitter.com via the web to make sure your Tweets shows up on your Profile. If so, you have correctly added your phone. Once again, you will not be able to receive any texts back from a long code.
If your carrier is not listed above, first see if you are able to use one of the one-way long codes listed above to post messages to Twitter. We're working on getting more local short codes for other places, and we'll update this list as they become available. If you travel out of the country, check with your mobile provider to see if they route text messages to local short codes. Follow @twittermobile for more updates. Thanks!
