How do I post through SMS?
First, make sure you enter your mobile number in your options (so that we can recognize that your SMS's are coming from you when we receive them!). Then simply send a SMS to 16 46 642 4925. It's a long number to memorize, but that's what bookmarks are for. It also spells 16 46 NH BIZ AK (16 46 "Nice Hand" "Biz" "Ace King") which really does not make any sense, but whatever helps you. :) Your sweat will be posted a few minutes later!
Also, if you want your post to be published on channels (you must have publishing permissions on them!), just add the channel SMS IDs at the beginning of your SMS, preceded by two question marks. For example, if you want to publish on channels 1 and 2, it would look like this:
??1??2 Hello from a SMS!
Since we are accepting SMS from anywhere in the world, you need to make sure to enter your full phone number in your account, including the international country code, and your area code. No need to add leading zeros or a '+' symbol, though. See this Wikipedia page for a list of country calling codes.
