According to Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, T-Mobile has shut down access to Twitter’s shortcode (40404) for at least some of its customers (it’s not entirely clear whether this only applies to those paying for unlimited messages, or all customers). This is an ballsy, asshole-ish move on T-Mobile’s part. I would call it shocking and unbelievable, but I’ve accepted that all U.S. mobile carriers are basically douchebags who damn give a damn about their customers. I don’t know if Twitter is a big enough deal for the backlash of this to really hurt T-Mobile, but I do know that if they keep up these kinds of practices, it will eventually bite them in the ass.
