Twitter,Bharti Airtel tie-up to activate Twitter SMS service
Twitter is committed to fostering the open exchange of information because they passionately believes it can have a positive global impact.
As powerful as the Internet has become for the democratization of information, its range is limited when compared to mobile texting—a format uniquely native to Twitter.
As Twitter grows, they seek to partner with organizations that share our vision for positive global impact.Their partnership with Bharti Airtel, the largest mobile operator in India, means a huge population of people can now send tweets at standard rates and receive tweets for free. Bharti Airtel is offering people in every city, every village, every remote taluk and even the smallest panchayat the opportunity to connect to Twitter and enjoy the open exchange of information with no added fees.
Twitter is not about technology, it’s about people. They worked quickly to establish full SMS service in India with the largest operator because organic growth in the region has been unusually strong and there is huge potential for positive impact.
