I have to say that I have semi-stopped using Twitter (GoMo Twitter here) because I am so busy. I loved it but with all the troubles and constant lack of “Replies” or direct messages turning up 3 days late – my excitement has burst.
I might not be the only one feeling like this and last week Twitter announced that Twitter users outside of the US would no longer receive SMS tweets.

But, do not fear. Apparently the guys from 3jam is here! I haven’t tested 3jam yet –but I do have a beta invite. It might be worth grabbing a demo at CTIA.
So what has 3jam done
It has launched a service that allows Twitter users to get direct messages using 3Jam cheap pre-pay SMS services.
Is this a business model that Twitter should have used
Yep. It sounds like it. In fact, 3jam is putting itself firmly on Twitter’s radar and is even going to offer a @replies service.
What we think?
Twitter – collaborate or buy 3jam and earn revenue – don’t just turn of services.
