Does anyone know if there is a charge to receive 'tweets' to my mobile phone when abroad (via sms message from Twitter) ?

I currently get the more interesting tweets sent to my phone (UK) and this is currently a free service though I wondered if when going abroad there would be a charge from roaming ?

I have spoken to 'three' on their live chat function and was not totally convinced by the answer of no.

Twitter itself says: "Your service provider might have fees for sending and receiving SMS/text messages." (I do not get charged to receive texts)

I get upwards of 100 tweets a day (yes tragic isnt it!) and wouldnt want to find out while overseas that these are being charged !!

Help appreciated

I dont know of any network who charge you to recieve a text. Sending one and receiving/making calls is different however.

You could be charged to get texts abroad due to roaming, check what the roaming charges are.

Which UK provider charges to receive roaming SMS?

I don't believe any of them do.

Youre quite right. Non of them charge for receiving sms.
