RE: One birder tackles the technology- Twitchathon on Twitter

[Mark Bennett <>]

I am leaving on a birding trip on Sunday around northern and NW Victoria.
Target species are the nomadic honeyeaters (Black, Pied), Inland Dotterel
and other inland/mallee specialities. I am considering providing a Twitter
feed along the way :)

Can anyone please tell me how to tweet via SMS?  I have an old Nokia mobile
...

Thanks,

Mark
