Im following David archuleta and i want to be able to see tweets he post on twitter directly to my phone right when he posts them on twitter. How are you able to get those tweets sent directly to your phone?

Activate mobile updates-- see the Twitter Help pages for more information.

1. Go to http://twitter.com/devices and make sure your phone number is registered with Twitter.

2. Go to David Archuleta's Twitter profile, and click the grey box under the profile picture which says "Following" in bold.

3. Under the "Device Updates" section click the "On" radio button. You should see the message "You will now receive device updates via SMS for..." appear after a short delay.

Please note that you can only have tweets sent to your phone if you are in the United States, Canada, or New Zealand, and that if you are in the UK, you can only receive updates if you are on the Vodafone network.
