I got this message via twitter:
Twitter wrote:Vodafone Ireland subscribers can now send and receive Tweets via SMS.
I'm not sure of the details.

But, does that mean that river alerts and gauge alerts via SMS are now a go? Well if it does, I'll try and make some head way on getting it up and running this weekend.
Or is just for Vodafone subscribers?

Looks like this is for Vodafone users only (which I am)

I hope O2 and the others follow Vodafone's lead on this.
