Is SMS the same as standard text messaging? - Privratnik - 02-24-2014 09:38 PM

I'm trying to set up my phone on twitter, but I'm not sure if I can use my regular cell phone. Do I need a smart phone?

No, you don't need a smartphone. SMS is the technical name for text message. It stands for short message service. I update my twitter with my LG Rumor (not smartphone) and have no problems with it.

Yes; SMS stands for 'Short Message Service'.
