Airtel brings TweetSMS to your mobile

Bharti Airtel, India’s largest telecom service provider is launching tweetSMS, a third-party application that allows you to receive Twitter SMS updates directly to your phone. Users will be able to receive SMS’ from people they follow, and update their status or send direct messages via a short code – 53000. At present, Twitter is accessible via the mobile Web. All messages sent to the shortcode 53000 will be charged at Re 1 per SMS, and interestingly enough, all messages recieved from 53000 will be free of cost. They do appear to have got the pricing right.
