Exploiting facebook/twitter mobile facilities

We have seen many GPRS based applications for tweeting and updating your facebook status. But what to do if you want to tweet/update status without connecting to internet? Well, facebook and twitter have facilities where you can tweet/update status by simply sending a message to a certain number. You can use that technique in your application. For this you just have to know the method for sending a message from your mobile. If you are coding in C# it is very simple to do.
You just have to writing the following code:
->Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.SmsMessage sms = new SmsMessage(number,text);
->sms.Send();
In case of facebook the number will be:923223265 and for twitter it is:53000.
Another thing that needs to be kept in mind is that, you need to add
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook in the references.

This is a simple way to keep your app different from others.Though C# is used for programming for windows mobile.
