text alerts and T Mobile

    I would like to set up a mobile text alert to know when a particular user I follow tweets but it doesn't seem possible to do this if I use T Mobile in the UK (all other mobile phone companies seem supported). Is this the case? If not, then how do I do it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, although I do not live in UK, T-Mobile can send me SMS every time my mailbox (on their domain) receives a new e-mail. I was using this service for a while. What's the problem?

    I know the UK has special laws against sending text alerts to phone numbers. This might be intermingling with T-Mobile's servers.

    Thanks. The issue appears to be that when setting up mobile alerts in Twitter T Mobile is the only company missing from the drop down list so I guess they have not supported this function. Not sure why.
