Twitter settings allow you to configure a mobile device on which to receive updates via SMS. You can turn updates on or off (in general), or “on” for Direct Messages (messages people send only to you).
You would think that changing the drop-down box would turn updates ON, OFF, or ON for Direct Messages. But apparently not, since after setting it to Direct Messages I still didn’t get updates via SMS.
Silly me, it’s because I didn’t actually turn it ON. You know, like on on. I still had to “enable” device updates for my phone.
Good luck finding any help on this. My guess is that they want updates to go to phone or IM or web, but why that’s not in the settings next to the actual settings of those devices is beyond me. I suppose they wanted to enable rapid switching by users? *sigh*
