Virgin customers and Twitter

Anyone on here with Virgin mobile and can get Twitter on their phone as when I added my mobile number on Twitter to access the site on my phone it says your network does not support this!?

Virgin say they do and that it might be about unlocking parental control but surely not?!

I'm sure I answered this last time you asked.
You can visit the twitter mobile site to tweet and read updates. But Twitter don't have an agreement with Virgin for text updates.

Oh right thanks. I looked back over the other threads and saw no replies so started this one. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks for info.

So I should be able to on my phone look at the Virgin's twitter account but not any others that I might be following? When I go to twitter on my phone it wont even let me sign in to see my account at all?
It also asks me to accept or reject a certificate to access twitter, not sure what this is?

The certificate issue is to do with your handset not Virgin. Which handset do you have and what is the exact error message you get?
Once you have logged in you will be able to see all the Tweets in your timeline.

Its a Samsung u600. On mobile.twitter certificates the page doesnt stay up long enough but its just so jargon and then accept or reject which I always reject because not sure what it means.

I can't say definitely unless you can put the message up. I suspect its just asking you to accept that you are going to a secure site.

Thanks for reply. I got the message it is coming up with here.

It says Certificate at the top. Then:

subject c: US
subject o: *twitter.com
subject ou: GT57932074
subject cn: *twitter.com
issuer c: us

Then its accept or reject when I reject it says connection failed.

Is this what you meant prking by something just telling you you are about to go to a secure site?

A post have mine seems to have been deleted.
I did reply to you.

Anyway, yes you can accept. (In basic terms this is to do with logging on to twitter using their 0Auth token - the Samsung is displaying a rather cryptic message)
What the message is really saying is 'This site has a certificate which can prove its twitter, is it ok to do this'
