Australian and European users of Twitter can no longer receive text message updates on their mobile phones, in a temporary move designed to keep the start-up’s telecom bills down.

The company has managed to find text-message billing agreements in the US, Canada and India, the other three countries in which Twitter has enabled SMS updates, so those countries will not be affected by the change.Twitter recommends the use of the Twitter mobile site or a third-party client like cellity.

cellity AG is starting a partnership with QYPE GmbH. Visitors to the mobile Internet pages of both companies can easily access the offers of both the two partners. QYPE is Germany’s largest assessment portal for local offers.
