Mobile Facebook browsing just got a lot cheaper if you're a
DiGi subscriber. Facebook's new mobile site, 0.facebook.com
is accessible via any mobile device that is registered on the DiGi
mobile network without incuring any additional data costs.
This is great news if you're a facebook addict who doesn't want to get
on an unlimited data plan just to update your status messages or check
what your buddies are up to on the go. The tie up between Facebook and
DiGi will allow all DiGi subscribers to enjoy cost-free access to the
wildly popular social networking site.
There are a few catches however. The new site is designed to be faster
then Facebooks core website as well as its traditional mobile site, but
will not display photos by default. Clicking on an external link will
bring up the pictures, but these will cause data charges to be turned
back on. A popup confirmation will be displayed before you are allowed
to leave the cost-free Facebook site.
Facebook is promising to get more mobile carriers onboard their
cost-free mobile edition, so watch this space for updates.
