Love chatting with your friends on facebook and want to stay connected on social networking? Now you can do all this and not even worry about spending money on internet usage. Singapore-based software applications developer, U2opia Mobile, has developed a new application for mobile phones that will
allow them to access Facebook on all kinds of handsets, without paying for a data connection.
Unstructured Supplementary Data (USSD) is the technology used by telecom players to send alerts to their users. The technology will help users send and view updates on their friends’ Facebook walls. U2opia launched this application on Tuesday with telecom major Bharti Airtel.
While Airtel customers can update their Facebook status through this USSD service free of cost, Rs1 per day will be applicable for accessing the full-feature application, which enables viewing news feeds, commenting on or liking news feed stories, posting on friends’ walls, confirming friend requests, viewing notifications and adding friends.

It's a good idea by Airtel to provide the facility free of cost and at the same time full feature of face book could be used @ Re 1. Would really help people who want to stay connected with the social networking site no matter where he or she is...
i think its a good initiative taken by airtel to provide the facility free of cost but we are in the initial stages so can't tell whether it will be free of cost in the coming days..
