The Official Twitter Text Commands
(In India it will only work on Bharti Airtel Mobiles and SMS commands to 53000)
Please note : When using these commands make sure that you do not append an @ along with it.
For example, if you want to turn on device notifications send only ON and not @ON.
Similarly, if you want to stop getting updates from Twitter send STOP and not @STOP.
If you send these commands with an @, it will be considered as an sefindia and will not be executed as expected!

Noteworthy Facts
- using on/off sefindia from your phone only stops notifications to the place the command comes from; you'll still collect a person's updates on the web.
- using follow/leave sefindia from your phone is the same as using on/off sefindia.
- following someone from a phone for the first time will also cause you to follow them on the web.
- there is no way to stop following a person on the web without visiting their profile and removing them. The off, leave, stop, and quit commands will only disable updates for the device(s) from which they were sent.
- you don't have to use on/off sefindia from the phone, you can also set individual notifcations from a person's profile page, or check yourfollowing page and manage all phone notification settings there
