5. Visit the profile page or click on the username of the user whose updates you want to receive via SMS (try typing https://twitter.com/username in your browser’s URL bar, or click through from your following page).
6. Click the person icon on the user’s profile and select Turn on mobile notifications from the drop-down menu.
7. If you no longer wish to receive text message updates from this user, select Turn off mobile notifications, from the same drop-down menu.
