Tweet with your Satellite Phone

Twitter has become extremely popular over the last year. For those of you traveling to places with just your satellite phone, you can now send a tweet to twitter with your satellite phone. This will enable you to send a message to many people at once instead of one person with just one SMS. But how?

Simple:
- Go to Twittermail.com and register using your Twitter account. You will be given a unique email address (xxxx@twittermail.com) which you can use to send your tweets from the satellite phone.

Create a new text message (SMS) on your Iridium phone. In the message body: enter your Twittermail.com address, enter a space, and then enter your tweet.

E.g. "xxxx@twittermail.com Hello friends, our ship has docked at the harbor."

When asked for a recipient phone number, enter *2. Then send the message.
