So, I just found out that my mobile service provider, Telus, is now on Twitter! Not only that, but they're asking Telus users on Twitter if they want full SMS support again, like Bell customers have. The only problem is that if you want to say yes, you need to be followed by Telus. Why? Because they want responses via direct message.

Thanks, Bell and Telus, as if your services weren't already overpriced...

According to Sault Ste. Marie News, Bell and Telus have a new plan in mind for text messaging. Are you a Bell Mobility or Telus Mobility client? Well, expect to start paying for incoming text messages, even if they're completely unsolicited. The charges gouging begins on August 8, and both providers are looking at a 15 cent charge — the same customers face for sending a message.
