5. Go to the Messages app on your iPhone 4S, and send a textto the number 40404 (or if you're not in the U.S., look up your twitter shortcode here), with your text message consistingof simply the word "go" without the quotes.

6. Go to your Contacts app on the iPhone 4S. Make a newcontact by tapping the + sign, and name it as if its first name is Twitter. Inthe phone number field, type 40404. It will look like 404-04, which is fine.

7. Now you can start Siri as you normally do (by eitherholding down the home button on the iPhone 4S for a couple of seconds or justputting the phone up to your ear). Say "Text Twitter, and then tell itwhatever you would like to tweet. Siri will read it back to you, and if it'scorrect, when she asks "ready to send it?, say yes. If Siri hasmisunderstood what you said, you can edit your tweet on the iPhone 4S screen byhand and then send it.
