Getting Twitter on your Cricket QA30 Hint Phone!!

So you want to use [intlink id=”3222″ type=”post”]Twitter with Cricket Phones[/intlink]. I have found a few ways to post to Twitter with http://Identi.ca . I can post to twitter with emails going to Identi.ca.  They give you a unique email address that you can use to post and You can receive twitter like sms through them.  They do have an options for Cricket but again you would have to use email to post but you can receive through text messaging without a problem.

This Phone comes with it’s own Email application so you would just use the phone to do the emailing. I’ve not gotten this phone just yet because Cricket won’t let me test it out but I am going to assume that with this phone having email capabilities, you can get around the twitter problem very easily.  You can use Twittermail to send and receive through your email application.   You can receive replies to your email address almost instantly.

Unlike Identi.ca, you can only send to Twitter but can’t receive any updates on twitter.   You could however start using Identi.ca exclusively but that would be torture because most of your friends are using Twitter. I wish Cricket would let me test this phone out and find out other secrets for my users.

The Motorola Evoke QA4 has an Email application on it too but right now it is $279 and is on pre order.  I am expecting this to also be able to send and receive email just like the QA30 Hint from Cricket.  If anyone wants to submit a review on either phone just [intlink id=”995″ type=”page”]email me or contact me through other services[/intlink] and I’ll give your credit to the review.

*update*

Looks like Cricket Wireless is providing use with a twitter app call Twit Twit. I haven’t played with it but I find it is at least a nice gesture on their part. If anyone has played with this application, I would like to hear how well this does!!

Setting the Record straight with Twitter and Cricket phones

I found this video online and thought I would post it:

As you can tell you won’t be able to use Twitter with Cricket phones but they are working on it. I however have been use [intlink id=”3065″ type=”page”]A600 Broadband Modem[/intlink] with Twitter without a problem. I have been using Tweetdeck as my platform of choice to use Twitter.

Although you can use the web based version Twitter, you won’t be able to SMS with Twitter just yet. I do hope they fix this really quickly, because I’d like to be able to use my phone to receive important updates.  I expect them to fix this in  the coming months when they bring out some new phones.  [intlink id=”3620″ type=”post”]Recently Cricket has let out the Smart Phones, with the Email capabilities[/intlink].   These phones, that have the email capabilities, can be used in conjunction with Twitter.  I talk about ways to use the newest phones to connect them with Twitter.
