Do you have an old mobile phone, like the Nokia 1100, that has no
browser and can do little more than make phone calls? Or are you stuck
in some remote place where there’s no Internet or no other form of data
(EGDE/GPRS/3G) connectivity is available?
Use Facebook without the Data Plan
Facebook India has partnered with Fonetwish to bring Facebook on every mobile phone without requiring any apps or even the Internet.
You
dial the *325# number, then enter your Facebook username and password
and you are in. You can then send number based commands to access
various features of Facebook, chat with friends who are online, add new
people to your friends list, and more.
I played with the service
for some time and it was a nice experience overall. If there were a
Unix-like shell interface for Facebook, it would be much similar.
Fonetwish says that this service is currently available for Airtel,
Aircel, Idea and Tata Docomo users in India.
It may be too much
work to read your Facebook news feed stories one by one but this is a
good option to quickly update your Facebook status or for chatting with
friends who are online. The price is reasonable too – you just have pay a
subscription fee of 1.00 per day for unlimited usage.
