An article about tweeting by phone.

It was only last week that Google acquired
<http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/25/google-buys-voice-messaging-startup-saynow
/>  SayNow, a voice messaging startup, They're already putting them to good
use. I mean really good use.

As they've just announced
<http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/some-weekend-work-that-will-hopefull
y.html>  on the Google Blog, the search giant has teamed up with the
incoming SayNow team and Twitter to create a simple speak-to-tweet service
for people currently engulfed in the turmoil in Egypt.

All,

Is there any text message capabilities in Egypt currently or is that
completely shut down? If there is still some SMS service , is international
SMS available?

Best,

Erik
