I haven’t been following the problem, but from what I saw, could it be that the individuals she is follow are not set to device update on? Not sure, I may be in left field but it’s worth looking into. I remember a couple days ago she thought it might be her carrier, Sprint.

Even with device updates on, you can follow someone and NOT have the tweets come to you via SMS. How? By default I think. All mine are set to device updates : OFF as shown below.

I remember seeing when following someone a way to turn that on. Here are the options below.

Just to see how it looks when it’s on, I set device updates on and that is what we have now for vkoser below.

I think I am going to go set woot.com to on now.

I am not sure if this is the problem that this person is having, but it’s worth a look.
