Airtel recently launched a unique USSD based service which allows Airtel customers to update their Facebook status messages, view/comment/’Like’ news feed, post on friends walls, find/add new friends, confirm friend requests, view notifications and more, directly from the mobile phone without the need of Internet connectivity! This means you will not be paying monthly/weekly/daily charges for using Mobile Office or NOP (neither Airtel Live will be used) just to keep an eye on your Facebook account on the move.
*How To Use It ?
#USSD is an innovative concept and I am guessing more is in store based on this service. For now, lets keep it simple and stick to usage for Facebook. The reason why I am writing these step by step instructions is that some people are new to this concept of following/replying to USSD commands. Follow the below mentioned steps to update your status on Facebook free of cost directly from your mobile phone irrespective of the handset you use:
- Dial *325# from your Airtel mobile number.
- You will be greeted with a message as shown below (refer pic above). Click ‘Exit‘ and wait for another message to appear.
- This time you will be asked for your Facebook username. Enter the full username as you do on your computer and send it.
- You’ll now be asked for facebook password (Repeat the process as in Step 3).
- If the credentials you submitted were correct then you will see a menu appear on screen showing “Welcome to Facebook” and list of things you can do.
- You can now:
- Update Facebook status for free!
- View/comment/’Like’ news feeds, post on friends walls, confirm friend requests, view notifications, find and add friends (Chargeable at Re 1 per day per use).
