U.S. SMS shortcode activated
March 6th, 2008
It’s finally here - a SMS shortcode for our U.S. users to enjoy! If you have a U.S. phone, you can now post Jaikus by texting to 30300.
You can also receive notifications of new posts from your friends and follow channels. For a complete list of functions, see our SMS help. Jaiku is free; standard operator SMS charges apply.
Jaiku members can activate their mobile number at http://jaiku.com/settings/mobile. The SMS service should currently function on all U.S. carriers except T-Mobile. (We are planning to add T-Mobile later). As always, please let us know your feedback on the Jaiku channel.
For those of you heading to SXSW, this should make coordinating easier :)

Hey guys,
thanks for all of your good work - I love the service, but I’ve been having troubles activating my Verizon Wireless phone (not getting an activation message), and, according to #jaiku, I’m not the only one. I sent an email to the support address a while back and got no response, could I please get some kind of update or explanation?
Also, on the activation page you mention the possibility of manual activation, but I can’t seem to find any other information on it other than that it exists.
Thanks!
