Facebook and social networks of this kind have permeated so deeply into our lives that it is impossible not to know what the world is doing around us. We also have this constant need to let the world know – let’s call it Facebook attention-seeking behavior. Facebook Mobile Texts is another step in that direction. That’s approximate because texting is the most popular form of communication in the world.
Facebook Mobile Texts allows you to receive and respond to text message (SMS) notifications on your phone. We will see how you can get started with it in this post. If you’re more of a Twitter fan then don’t worry, Twitter also lets you use it via text message and we’ve covered it in detail.
How to activate and set up Facebook via mobile SMS
1. Sign in to your Facebook profile and go to Account Settings.
2. Click Mobile in the sidebar. The Mobile Settings page deals with Facebook’s reach via mobile SMS.
3. In the following steps, you must select your country and service provider from the drop-down list in the dialog box.
4. The screenshot below explains the short process to enable text messaging on Facebook.
You can choose options to share your phone number with your friends and let them message you from Facebook. Think twice about this option, as too many text messages can really ruin your privacy.
You will receive an instant confirmation message on your mobile. The Mobile Settings page gives you some other permission controls.
For instance, here’s my setup that I think is a balance between communication and intrusion.
You can do a lot with Facebook messages like update status, text friends or send messages on the go. Facebook Text allows you to receive texts with messages, teasers, and wall posts from your friends as soon as they happen. It’s real-time but keep in mind that standard messaging fees may apply.
Do you use Facebook via mobile SMS? Do you find that it intrudes on your privacy a bit too much or do you absolutely love it? Tell us in the comments.
