How to Get Updates on your Phone without a Twitter Account

Want to get updates from @Twitter but don’t want to create a Twitter account? You’re in luck! Use Fast Follow to receive Twitter updates without having to sign up or add your phone to a Twitter account.

To get started:

  • Send Follow [username] to your Twitter shortcode and you will start receiving Tweets from that user on your device.
  • Example: sending follow Twitter to 40404 on a US-based AT&T phone would mean I’d start getting SMS updates whenever @Twitter posts a Tweet.

Some notes on Fast Following:

  • Since you won’t have a profile or username until you sign up for an actual Twitter account, your follow is not included in the user’s followers list.
  • If you have a full Twitter account and a Fast Follow user follows you, your follower count on your profile page will not change.

Have a Fast Follow account but want to upgrade to a full Twitter account?

Check out Twitter.com’s article for more info

Fast Follow Mobile Commands

Below you’ll see all of the SMS commands you can use as a Fast Follower. All other SMS commands, including those for registered users, can be found here.

  • Follow [username] – allows you to receive updates from that user.
  • OFF or STOP or LEAVE – turns off receiving updates from the users you are following.
  • ON – will turn on device updates and you will start receiving tweets again.
  • WHOIS [username] – retrieves the profile information of the user.
  • STATS – returns the number of people that you are following.
  • GET [username] – retrieves the latest update that user has posted.

How to remove your phone and fast follower list from Twitter:

  • Sending STOP twice in succession to your shortcode will delete your follower list and remove your phone number from Twitter. You will no longer receive updates from us.
  • You can send Follow [username] anytime and start receiving updates again!
