Twitter turns off SMS-based tweeting in most countries
#1
Quote: Buh-bye, original way of tweeting: Twitter said that for the most part, it’s turned off its Twitter via texting service.

Besides a few countries that rely on the feature, Twitter’s turned off its ability to take in our SMS messages and turn them into tweets. On Monday, it said on its support account that it’s killed SMS tweeting in order to keep our accounts safe, referring to SMS-enabled vulnerabilities for which it didn’t give any details.

Everyone will still have access to important SMS messages needed to log in to and manage their accounts."
