Twitter offering MMS services to Orange UK users

<!–Ads1–>

Twitter has taken its service one step further by offering MMS to its UK Twitter users.

According to Kevin Thau of Twitter, Orange UK carrier users can send picture messages (MMS) to 86444 without being charged through Twitter; only carriers standard messaging rates apply.

Its as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Take a photo on your Orange mobile phone
2. Select Send via MMS or Send multimedia message
3. Send it to 86444

You can test this service out by sending a text message to 86444 with the word START.

This means that with the same shortcode, 86444, UK users can tweet via SMS with Vodafone, O2, and now Orange.

Now the question that remains, is will users find this useful considering the high prices that Orange charges for MMS services.
