Anonymous SMS to Twitter
April 18, 2012 7:02 PM Subscribe
I want to create a number to send text messages (SMS) which will then post all the messages onto a Twitter feed...
The utility has to do with the North of Mali, creating a space for the non-internet but mobile equipped citizens to send and post text messages.
It seems Twitter requires the number of the sender to be linked to an account. I want anonymous texting ability from anyone, without needing to subscribe. I can set up a Google Voice number, but how do I set the messages to post directly to Twitter? Any quick and painless ways to set this up?

Best answer: You can configure Google voice to email you when you copies of incoming SMS messages. Then you can configure ifttt with email as the trigger and Twitter as the action.
