Oh fuck.

Yep.

Did I post some links earlier or was that on FB for receiving texts from emails? I think there must be ways of getting tweets in Gmail and then forwarding them to a mobile phone, I've googled these links amongst others but I'm now in meetings and can't take it further. Anyone else want to geek on this? My suggestion would be to get an email from the tweet, and then receive a text of that email. Longwinded but may work. I'm on 3 so won't be checking this, but good luck to those looking for a better way.

As I mentioned above, you can turn on mobile notifications for particular accounts you follow on Twitter. Twitter won't charge you, but your carrier may well do - it appears EE charges them at 10p a time.

Sorry, I meant notifications for free, especially if there are going to be loads from several accounts being followed.

@carlosj If you're on 3 then just text       FOLLOW @secretglasto to 86444

[Chazwozza]

And remember to set up your Twitter account to get smsnotifications from it as well

Cheers, but 3 is one of the recognised networks, so I'll get them without that needing to be done.

Right, in that case I think I've created the recipe for the emails https://ifttt.com/recipes/429486-secret-glasto-emails 

Just a question of then forwarding the emails to a phone

Ok does anyone know how I can change the email address that these emails would go to ? It has my old email address set up for this, and even when I change my email address in my profile settings, it still sets up new recipes "channels" to the old one, frustrating!!

[Evilmonkeydan]

If you don't have a mobile with a twitter app looks like to can login on this site to register your mobile number and turn on notifications. 

mobile.twitter.com

That's according to this page, haven't looked into it fully as mine is working, smugly walks away from keyboard.

I imagine go here https://ifttt.com/email do 'disconnect' and then 'reconnect' with the correct email

Alexis spoke a bit about Glastonbury in a Reddit AMA yesterday. Saturday evening Crows Nest slot sounds like a winner!

This.

I didn't actually manage to get Twitter to text me directly (despite setting it up), so now I'm worried. I currently get notifications to my smart phone when certain people Tweet, but they don't come through as SMS messages. Anyone else have this problem? I registered my phone and got an activation text, but no texts since. Would Twitter know that I received a push notification, and know not to send a text? (I don't really know if anyone would know the answer to this, but worth a go!)

No. When I have SMS notifications on, I get both. Sounds like its something to do with your network/account settings. Have a google for your network and "twitter SMS notifications".

Are you looking forward to playing Glastonbury? Do you guys play every year?

Thanks for everything. You continually put out music I love and play shows that I have an incredible time at...

Saw you at Gorilla in Manchester a few years ago. It was superb. Saw you at the warehouse too, again, a great night.

Edit: Just saw your glasto response elsewhere...always read the comments. Looking forward to it!

oh thanks. Come to my solo show in Manchester on June 21st if you are about. with a DJ set from Manchester's own Black Lodge. This year at Glastonbury Hot Chip will only be DJing and doing various solo sets (I'll be at the Crow's Nest Saturday night at 7.30 and Joe is doing some DJ sets most nights I believe)

 

Does this sound like a DJ set?  I can't quite tell.  His recent stuff could easily be played in the Crow's Nest.

Thanks, I'll have a look. I'm on EE - has anyone managed to get texts straight from Twitter? I recall that @stuartbert two hats was having some trouble on EE - did you manage to find a solution?

I'm on Virgin (who use EE I believe) and I don't think it handles sms texts straight from twitter. I think they stopped working with O2 as well on my previous sim card.

I didn't try to get them from Twitter, I went straight to setting up the (seemingly near-useless) IFTTT.  I might try again with Twitter, but I don't intend to use SMS, since I'll be taking a smartphone and a couple of charger bricks.

Yeah, Google says a similar thing. Screws my plan right up! Might need to get a new PAYG SIM now.

This discussion would suggest EE will allow Twitter texts but will charge 10p a time: https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Pay-As-You-Go/Are-Twitter-SMS-notifications-from-shortcode-86444-no-longer/td-p/335113

My normal phone is 3 but my Glastophone is on EE, I need to dig it out and check this works.

If you read it again you'll see that it says 'Exit poll [on at] Leftfield'. And no, it's not serious.

I am on an EE monthly contract and all working fine.

Couple of questions lets see if we can unpick this

• Are you on contract or PAYG/contract (don't know if it matters)?
• Are notifications turned on for SecretGlasto?
• Under your account /settings/notifications/mobile notifications is SecretGlasto listed?
• Under your account settings/account is your mobile number listed.
• While testing/playing enable an account like BBC or someone who tweets regularly.
• If you have a friend/family member with a phone on an alternative network, borrow it for a while and temporarily register it to your twitter account to see if it is your phone or a setting missing in your account.

Sorry if this sounds simplistic just want to check the basics first.
