Twitter offers its SMS alert service only in the US, India and Canada. But, using Twe2 you can get free Twitter SMS alerts on your mobile phone in other countries as well. Now if you are thinking that Twe2 is just like using the mobile version of twitter then you are wrong. Because unlike Twitter which sends updates of the people you follow, Twe2 would send you an SMS alert only when you get a @reply or a direct message (in fact there is one more type of alert which you can get, which you will read later in this post ).
So twe2 alerts you when someone is trying to have a conversation with you.

Features of Twe2 are :
- It is free.
- You need to send any SMS to them in order to verify your account. The verification code will be send to your number.
- You can control the SMS frequency. The maximum number of SMSes you can receive is 100 per hour. (Twitter offers just 250 per week!)
- Set the specific time to get updates during the day or on specific days of the week.
- Select to get only replies or DMs or both.
- You can view all the sent SMSes online by moving to “Sent Tweet” tab.
And, now the best part of Twe2. Twe2 may not be able to deliver you your entire twitter stream, which in fact is quite unrealistic considering it is an SMS alert service, you can still get updates related to any keyword. Twe2 supports Twitter’s advanced search syntax and operators. Pretty cool, isn’t it ?
Hence, you can track tweets from any tweeter user or get updates about any #hashtag. This feature makes Twe2 very unique and useful, especially for those who can’t get internet on their cellphones.
Join Twe2 and enjoy this twapp.

Just to let everyone know. Twe2 as it is now is no more!
