Globe subscribers can now get free access to Twitter starting today until the end of July. To get the free access, just type “free twitter” and send it to 8888.
I just tried it now on my Globe postpaid account and it did not work. The SMS reply says it’s only available to prepaid Globe and TM subscirbers. Anybody else tried this already?

It’s not working for me. :( It says:
You are now registered to FREE TWITTER. Enjoy FREE TWITTER on your mobile phone until July 31, 2012! Click on http://mobile.twitter.com or type it on your phone’s browser to start. Regular browsing rates apply when using an Opera Mini browser or Twitter app and when accessing other links (ex: Facebook, Youtube, etc) unless registered to an internet promo. Guided by Globe Acceptable Terms on Fair Use. For more info on the promo, text FREE TWITTER INFO to 8888 for free. For tips on better Twitter experience, text TWITTER TIPS to 8888 for free. Promo til July 31, 2012 only. DTI no. 5228.
But whenever I open twitter on my browser, it says that my connection is unavailable.
Why will using the Opera Mini browser cause regular rates? And what if I use a different browser other than the phone’s stock browser, will that cause regular rates as well? Free nga pero hassle naman gamitin. Why not just give free access regardless of the app used when accessing Twitter? Perhaps Globe will track usage in some way…privacy issues, anyone? :D
When using Opera Mini, all websites will pass through their compression server. It is also effective to bypass blocks on Facebook and other sites on corporate or school networks, in WiFi. :)
They says that aside from twitter, you can use it to browse free on other sites. Isn’t it?
This is a very good news for Globe subscribers who are addicted to Twitter. Enjoy the free offer while it lasts!
it works but only until July 15, 2012. Does this mean I have to enroll again after July 15? We’ll see.

i’m pretty much sure this works like its previous free FB promo, wherein you have to use twitter via their mobile website. if you use the app, regular data charges will be deducted from your load.
My gawd.. postpaid pala ako :(
