Complete list of command keys for receiving updates:

/credits -> To check how many credits you still have.
/follow @user1 @user2 @user3 up to 8 users -> To start receiving updates from the user you follow. At the start, you will only receive mentions and DMs updates.

/resume -> To resume your session, and receive updates again from your phone.
/whoami -> To verify what twitter account you registered to T2.
/give @user -> To give another @tweetitow registered user some of your credits. Giving is sharing is loving.
/whatsnew -> To retrieve the 5 recent updates (from the last 24 hours) from any of the people you follow (including those you did not turn on to receive updates from your phone). To receive another 5 recent updates, simply send /whatsnew again — the 5 older tweet updates will be sent to your phone.
/whatsnew @user 5 -> To retrieve the 5 recent updates of a user from the last 24 hours.
Send the command key to any gateway number for execution.
How long twitter updates will reach my mobile phone?
You might notice a delay in receiving updates. It is because Twitter limits API or 3rd-party twitter applications’ (like @tweetitow, tweetdeck, seismic, other mobile twitter applications) cycle of checking and retreiving updates to 4 minutes. It means if someone send you a reply or DM, it will take around 4 minutes or more to reach your phone.
*We increased the ‘receive updates’ checking cycle to 6 minutes. We have to do this to accommodate the growing numbers that go online to receive updates.
Now that I figured receiving updates. How about this credits? For more information on credits, please refer to next page.
