You can of course use an existing Twitter account via a smartphone.  But did you know you can even start and use a Twitter account via SMS?  If you want to share your observations of Together On A Mission with the world, why not create a Twitter account right now? Simply follow the following steps if you don\u2019t already have an account:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chose which number you are going to use, for UK networks this is: UK: 86444 (Vodafone, Orange, 3 and O2 customers)  or +447624800379. <a href=\"http:\/\/support.twitter.com\/articles\/14226-how-to-find-your-twitter-short-code-or-long-code\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Numbers for other countries<\/a> are also available.<\/li>\n<li>Send a text message to your Twitter shortcode or number with the word \u2018START\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Twitter will send you a reply and ask you to reply with the word \u2018SIGNUP\u2019 to create a new account. Send \u2018SIGNUP\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Next, Twitter will ask you to pick a username. Your username must be unique and less than 15 characters. Reply with the username you want (see below for advice on picking a username).<\/li>\n<li>You will get a confirmation message when you pick a unique username (Twitter will tell you to pick a new name if someone else has the username you wanted).<\/li>\n<li>Choose a password.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019re all set! Send a message and it will post as your first Tweet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you already prefer to set it up on the web, there is a page of instructions of <a href=\"http:\/\/support.twitter.com\/groups\/34-apps-sms-and-mobile\/topics\/123-mobile-basics\/articles\/110250-how-to-add-your-phone-via-web\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">how to add an SMS mobile phone to a web-based Twitter account<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some people are already tweeting about the event, and I have created a simple search.
