Long Codes

Good news! If your country and carrier is not listed here you can use one of the following one-way long code to post messages to Twitter.

• UK : +447624800379 (Subscribers may be charged international messages rates)
• GERMANY : +4915705000021 (Subscribers may be charged regular/local SMS rate)
• FINLAND : +3584573950042 (Subscribers may be charged regular/local SMS rate)

However, all subscribers using this code may be charged international messages rates.
 

To add your phone to your Twitter profile via long code:

1. Send a text to the correct long code (listed above) with the word START.
2. Wait 2 minutes.
3. Next, send your username to the Twitter long-code. Do not use @ or quotes. Send your username ONLY, like so: hotdogsladies
4. Wait 2 minutes after sending your username.
5. Next, send your password to the same number. This is case sensitive, so be sure you are sending your password correctly.
6. Wait 2 minutes.
7. Finally, send the word OK to the same number.

To test if you have correctly added your phone, send a "test" Tweet to your long code number (just like sending a normal text message). Then, log in to www.twitter.com via the web to make sure your Tweets shows up on your Profile. If so, you have correctly added your phone. Once again, you will not be able to receive any texts to confirm phone activation!

How To Tweet with Your Phone If Your Carrier Is Not Listed

If your carrier is not listed above, first see if you are able to use one of the one-way long codes to post messages to Twitter. We're working on getting more local short codes for other places, and we'll update this list as they become available. If you travel out of the country, check with your mobile provider to see if they route text messages to local short codes. Follow @twittermobile for more updates. Thanks!
