Tech tutorials, howtos and walkthroughs

Have you ever wondered how to do that? Anonymously tweet or post to FB from a regular cellphone? You can actually do this, despite not having a smartphone as all the Social Networks are made to be backwards compatible with the great exalted email.

After all, were it not for email, many a FB account and tweeter wouldn’t be born, as email accounts are the source of all of your initial friends when you had signed up. It’s still the gold standard for all Social Networks. Plus most Feature phones can send email as explained in How to send and receive email via SMS from your LIME or Digicel Feature phone.

This’ll be the shortest DIY (Do it yourself) article in history for me as far as I’m concerned. Once you’ve read my article How to send and receive email via SMS from your LIME or Digicel Feature phone on how to send email from either Digicel or LIME phones (LIME’s setup is a tad silly but totally understandable!) then the procedures are pretty straightforward.

If you do have a smartphone but you want to send FB and Tweets anonymously in class without being caught this tip is great for you. By now you must, as the Digicel DL600 as described in Kelroy’s article Digicel to launch Affordable Android-powered 4G Smartphone in May is out and about, so go and reserve one today! This tip is also useful if you happen to be in the Library, let’s say the St. Andrew Parish Library on Tom Redcam Drive and you can’t go to FB or Twitter!
