Tweet on Twitter using Sun Cellular

Pinoys can actually post a tweet on Twitter using their Sun Cellular phones for just a Peso per post/send.

I read somewhere that this is possible and the steps are quite easy.

You need to register first:
Using your Sun Cellular mobile phone, text:

LOGIN [username] [password]

without the brackets and then send to 2555.

After the confirmation, you can start posting using your Sun Cellular phones by texting:

TW [message]

without the brackets and then send to 2555.

At first, I was kinda hesitant because I would be giving away my Twitter password. So I had to call Sun Cellular and confirm if 2555 is one of their service providers.

And yes, the Customer care representative confirmed that, again, yes, 2555 is one of their service providers.

It was not until I have posted a test post on Twitter that I have confirmed that 2555 is in fact a Sun Cellular/DMPI service provider named Sun Alertz, thus, assuring me that my account on Twitter will be secured. At the very least, they are not a fly by night service provider who might find it profitable to sell account names and passwords.

What's more, and this is a free plug already, (but I won't say NO if Sun Cellular would give me a TF for posting this) you can also receive alerts and enjoy unlimited use of the service by texting any of the following:

BUY 1, BUY 7, or BUY 30

and then sending it to 2555.

BUY 1 will be at PhP15 for a day.

BUY 7 will be for PhP50 for seven days.

BUY 30 will be for PhP150 for 30 days.
