Free way to access Facebook on mobile phones

Mobitel is now offering their customers free mobile browsing on the new 0.facebook.com site. By sponsoring 0.facebook.com Mobitel is enabling their customers to stay connected through Facebook with their friends and family from any mobile Web browser without incurring any data charges.

Facebook's 0.facebook.com site is optimized for speed - it is a new faster, lightweight version of Facebook's mobile site m.facebook.com. The site does not have graphics or photos and 0.facebook.com's pages have been designed for performance on Mobitel's network. Photos posted on Facebook are only one click away from 0.facebook.com. To view a photo a person only needs to click on a link to the photo and they will be prompted that they are leaving 0.facebook.com. Standard data charges will apply when a person leaves 0.facebook.com to view photos. Mobitel CEO Suren J. Amarasekera said, "Facebook has been able to secure its position as the most preferred mode of social networking and has provided a powerful platform, leveraging on the latest ICT technologies for communities to stay in touch. We are privileged to be associated with Facebook for the benefit of our mutual customers. We believe that free access to 0.facebook.com will unravel another dimension of mobile communication while delivering a truly engaging experience".

"We are always looking to work with innovative companies to provide simple and fast mobile access to Facebook across the world," said Mobile Business Head Facebook Henri Moissinac".

Thanks to our collaboration with Sri Lanka Telecom Mobitel, we can deliver 0.facebook.com together which gives a high quality and more affordable way to access Facebook for the Mobitel fans for the first time in Sri Lanka," he said.
