I’m considering getting me and my friends to stay more connected through twitter. Do you know if twitter will ever send a text message ad if you use twitter on your cell phone? Do they ever give your number out to 3rd parties?

How do you make @ replies from twitter to be directly sent to you phone? Cos I`m using twitter text message. But I also want the @ replies to my posts to be sent to my phone.

I have sent to right text message to twitter in order to verify my phone. I have been waiting for about a week. Is that normal?
