Access Facebook on Your Mobile Devices for Free

Facebook, the popular social networking site with a whopping 400 million user base worldwide, can now be accessed on your mobile devices for free. This was announced by Sid Murlidhar, programme manager for Facebook Mobile, in a blog.


Facebook can be accessed with zero data charges in 45 countries, including India. This is available on select mobile networks for now. In India Reliance Communications and Videocon mobile subscibers can use Facebook for free on their net-enabled phones.



In order to use this free service users would need to go to 'o.facebook.com' on their mobile devices. This new site is optimized for speed and would have pretty much all the features that are available on 'm.facebook.com'. You can update user status, receive and reply to messages, among other features. Although users would be charged for viewing photos and surfing other websites.

This is evidently a smart move considering the fact that Facebook has over 100 million users who visit the site from their mobile phones and it can boost Facebook's presence in the price-conscious third world user base.

The new site is being launched in Brazil, Denmark, Turkey, India, Hong Kong, Finland, Hungary, Sri Lanka and Greece, among others.
