How to Get Text Updates On Your Mobile Phone


If you are enjoying our regular news updates and would like to receive a text message every time we update then this is now possible if you are on Vodafone, Orange, 3 or O2. Follow the instructions below to set up this service.

  1. If you do not already have one then sign up for a twitter account online.
  2. Send a text message to 86444 with the word START
  3. You will then receive a reply asking you to reply with your twitter username which you can then send back by text. (Do not send any additional characters - only your twitter username - or they will not be able to recognise your account.)
  4. When they reply send your password to them (be careful - passwords are case sensitive)
  5. Twitter will then ask you to reply and you send back OK to activate twitter by SMS from your mobile phone.
  6. Send another text message to 86444, this time saying FOLLOW falmouthcorps (note there is no space in falmouthcorps). This tells twitter to follow the Falmouth Corps twitter updates for you.
  7. Finally send one more text to 86444. This time send ON falmouthcorps. This tells twitter to send you each update from Falmouth Corps to your mobile phone by text message.
