  • - SMS your secret code listed under Mobile Number to 9634-6465.
  • - Your mobile number will display in a minute. If it does not, please report this to @sgBEAT.


2. Link your sgBEAT account to Twitter, Facebook or Plurk

  • - On the right hand side of your dashboard, select an External Account to add by clicking on the service icon.
  • - Authorize sgBEAT for access to your External Account.
  • - For each External Account, click Edit and check the appropriate checkboxes (e.g. for receiving updates on your mobile).
    • sgBEAT automatically translates usernames on your behalf for sgBEAT users who have linked external accounts. You only need to @username to send to sgBEAT users with linked accounts and we will send the beat correctly on Twitter, Facebook or Plurk.

    • To post to Twitter only, start your beat with @t. Or to send to Twitter user username, use @twitter:username or @@username.
    • To post to Facebook only, start your beat with @f.
    • To post to Plurk only, start your beat with @p.
    • To send to sgBEAT user username, use @sgbeat:username.

    • Example 1: "@p @t Hi there plurkers and tweeps!"
    • Example 2: "@@myfriend @myclass see what @sgbeat:thisguy said"

    • Note: If you try to send a beat to an sgBEAT user without a linked external account (such as Twitter), we will automatically prefix @sgBEAT: to the username in your beat on the external account. This prefix prevents your message from being sent accidentally to someone else who registered that username.


3. Receive incoming tweets/beats via SMS on your mobile

  • - Click on Edit Profile above. Select your Telco accordingly.
  • - Click on Set Notifications above. For 'Default SMS reply mode', select the Always SMS me option.
