You can now use
Facebook on any mobile phone without GPRS or the Internet. You can chat with
Facebook friends, send messages, add friends and more.
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?
Not a problem.
You can still use your Facebook account in India by dialing *325# (or *fbk#)
from your mobile phone – this service requires no data plan or Internet and it
will even work on phones of the Stone Age. Here’s a quick tour:
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.
