Twitter has been pushing into the international market by making its service available on feature phones, according to Bloomberg.
The move comes as users in the U.S. are topping off and the microblogging service has to expand its boundaries in search of new members.
One of the ways Twitter is gaining new users is by partnering with wireless carriers in different countries that let people tweet on feature phones for free or for the cost of a text message. For example, the social network is now working with Turkish carrier Turkcell, according to Bloomberg. The partnership lets users tweet with a more simple version of Twitter and also gets them to spend more time on their phones.
"We need to deliver a more compelling product for low-end devices," Twitter CEO Dick Costolo told Bloomberg.
