TWEETING THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE

Twitter is meant to be used via mobile phones through SMS. Unfortunately in India, only one provider — Airtel — provides this service. If you use any other network you will need Internet enabled on your phone to tweet. We aim to help you tweet using any provider, without Internet enabled, through a simple sms.
