Facebook, Twitter, Orange and Texting!
Posted by Karen in Twitter, blogging, tags: Facebook, MySpace, texting, TwitterSo what’s it all about this weired title for my post, you may be thinking, well it’s a simple title for what I’ve been up to lately.
First of all many may know that I frequent FaceBook, not as much I would like to or used to but I still visit when I can and I do like to use my mobile phone for Tweeting over at Twitter.
So the other day I decided to change the tariff on my Orange phone, the network not the colour, to the Dolphin tariff, great I thought 300 free texts a month, that will save me a bit tweeting, well not exactly, I can text for free, but not to Twitter, I still get charged 20p to tweet with my mobile, shame that!
But I do have access to FaceBook, Bebo, MySpace and Twitter for free via my phones WAP, which I suppose does help, but it’s so annoying tweeting without predictive text, it’s like going back to the dark ages, pressing one key several times to get the desired letter!
So then I decided to stop by Facebook and use their mobile phone option, so I can update my facebook via my phone, no! Facebook will not let you use an Orange phone, what a complete pain in the bum!!!
What next, ah ha ping.fm, I’ll give that ago, so I did! Awesome no charge!!!!!

well I’m no expert on Orange phones, but it sound like they suck! I do hope you get this problem taken care of,as I hate it when I get charged for crap like that. Good luck.

It’s posts like these that make me happy that I have a BlackBerry provided by my employer…with unlimited texting (since that’s how I get urgent alerts from work) and unlimited data plan. I do a good portion of my Twittering and Facebooking from the mobile sites.
On an unrelated note, this comment is the trial run of using my Twitter name as my commenting name, as suggested by @joeloleson!

I do remember reading twitters terms in regards to cellphone use I’m in the US and I’m guessing your in the UK, so I don’t have that problem. It does suck though. If I had to pay 20-anything for a tweet I definitely wouldn’t be doing it. I don’t see the point

I have an internet add-on on my 3 phone so I can use Slandr.net (or any other site) to Tweet as much as I like
It’s also good for looking at other sites and uploading pix to Flickr or Twitpic etc
