Recently Vodafone announced that the Twitter would be available free of charge in Vodafone networks given the usage only on default browser and official android app.
Since the announcement many users are complaining that twitter doesn't get opened on their smartphones whether they have data pack activated or not.
I am a regular Vodafone 3G user as it provides the best speed and the signal strength is quite good at my location. Unfortunately, I suffered this problem too. I can download a song, play a YouTube video, check emails but wasn't able to use Twitter on my mobile. I tried reinstalling and different twitter apps but the result was same. It worked smoothly when used with a Wi-Fi connection.
I contacted the Vodafone customer care but they were unable to explain this outage. I went to the Vodafone Store and showed them this issue. They tried restarting my mobile, take out the battery but it didn't worked. At last they told me that this is a handset related issue and I need to visit the Samsung Mobile Service Centre.
After some argument an employee told me that this is a common issue nowadays. Since the free twitter announcement they face customers with this very problem and this is a cheap tactic by Vodafone to lure customers. I was amazed to see this kind of cheating and fraud by a top level reputed telecom company like Vodafone.
