Free Twitter Apps that Send Your @ Replies

Twitter Apps are better when they are freeOne of the best free Twitter apps is FeedTwit. This is because it fills a gap in Twitter’s service. Twitter is happy to send you text messages of people you are following whenever they update their profile, but you won’t get any message if someone else mentions you. FeedTwit is the only one of the free Twitter apps that can send your @ replies to you as texts.

Additionally this free Twitter app is superior because:

  • Other Twitter apps require you to download a program to your phone. This app runs through text messages to your phone.
  • Other Twitter apps require you to have a dataplan on your phone. This app does not use any extra data- but an unlimited messaging plan is suggested.
  • Other Twitter apps require you to purchase a special program. This app if free.

Now this Twitter app is free so much as there is no extra charge to use this service. However, as Twitter recommends when you sign up to receive Twitter messages, you might be charged by your phone company for any text messages you receive. So when I say, “free,” I only mean there is no additional charge besides what you pay for your cell phone.

FeedTwit is able to offer this app for free because it uses Twitter messaging to send your replies to you as direct messages. After you follow FeedTwit’s Twitter account you will receive a password. Take that password to the FeedTwit homepage and log-in. From there you can designate what messages you would like to receive.

Like most free Twitter apps, FeedTwit sells advertising. People or companies sponsor a day’s worth of service (in exchange for SEO benefits). Don’t worry- you won’t be overwhelmed by annoyying, obnoxious messages- only one sponsor per day means only one message for each day and only from high-quality sponsors.

FeedTwit is the easiest of the free Twitter apps to use. To start using this free Twitter app all you have to do is follow FeedTwit on Twitter. Then you can begin to receive your Twitter mentions as texts.
