New Delhi: Almost 70 crore mobile users in India and around 80 per cent in emerging markets, who do not have a mobile data connection, would soon be able to access social networking site Twitter using U2opia Mobile's app.

Fonetwish, an app developed by Singapore-based mobile solutions provider U2opia, is a USSD-based solution, which works on any mobile phone without an Internet connection.

USSD technology is used by telecom operators to send alerts to their users. It can be used for pre-paid call-back service, location-based content services and menu-based information services.

Facebook and Google Talk are using the application, which will also be available for Twitter in January-March next year, U2opia Mobile CEO Sumesh Menon said.

"Mobile users who do not have 2G, 3G, GPRS, etc on their handsets will have to dial a standard code through which they be able to access Twitter feed," he told PTI.
