A handy new HappyTC feature has just been rolled out — you can now use SMS messages to contact your team mates!
It works like this:
- Set up a Twitter account for your team on twitter.com. (You don’t need to enable a mobile device for the team account.)
- Sign in to HappyTC, click the Twitter button and provide the Twitter account’s user ID and password.
- Tell your team mates to use their own personal Twitter accounts to follow the new team Twitter account.
- Tell them to enable “updates to mobile” when following the team account (and they obviously need to add their own mobile device to Twitter).
Now, whenever anyone contacts the team from within HappyTC there’s the option to “tweet” the message as well — which sends an SMS to all following players!
More info is here.
(This assumes you live in a country where Twitter supports sending tweets via SMS… currently that appears to be the USA, the UK, Canada, and New Zealand.)
