Facebook from Grameenphone : Updating facebook by SMS

I didn't know about the service from the beginning, but yesterday when I caome to know that banglalink has introduced this facebook sms service, I gave an status at facebook, and some of my friends informed about the GP facebook sms services.

So, I tried it and become successful!!

Its a great step for country like Bangladesh – where Internet penetration is very low but mobile phone covers a wide network, I know many people who use facebook but don't have internet enabled set or don't use internet from their cell phones, so SMS is a great option/doorway for them!!

Now... come to the features .. what to do....?

Its very simple – type fb and send sms to 2555

at the return message you will get a code and a link, if you are from a net enabled mobile phone, then its better you follow the link and give your mail add and password if you aren't previously logged it via mobile net!!

if you aren't from any net enabled device, then go to facebook → account → Account settings → Mobile and give the confirmation code for the respective number.

Thats it!!

Now you can post your status via text sms from your number & interestingly get some notification (Message, Add request, Comment at photo) for free of cost!!!!

How to update status from GP via sms??

Type a sms starting by is and send to 2555

Even you can do other things via sms:

you can send message, post to friends wall, add friends, get friends cell number and so on....

Thats it, its better to have the sms access with your number.

Thank you – Have a nice Day!!

Facebook Bangladesh : Bangladesh is deprived of facebook sms and zero facebook

Facebook is the most popular social networking website in Bangladesh and according to alexa facebook is the 2nd popular website in Bangladesh. Even its more popular than some very popular website like yahoo.com and google.com.bd .

But facebook do not give proper importance to Bangladesh in terms of their mobile services.

It was started from facebook sms service, most of the south Asian countries have the chance to update their facebook status by sending sms; they get their notification directly to their mobile by sms, but this service is not available in Bangladesh.

We started a facebook group - We want facebook SMS service in Bangladesh!! to show facebook Bangladeshi users demand to start facebook sms service in Bangladesh.

We want facebook SMS service & 0.facebook.com in Bangladesh!!

Facebook sms hasn't statrted in Bangladesh yet now.


Moreover we are deprived of the new facebook mobile service - zero facebook !!!

some information about zero facebook:

zero facebook

zero facebook – 0.facebook.com is the new mobile website for facebook where you can use facebook without any cost – absolutely free. Means you don't have to pay your service provider to update your status or to comment any link or status or to like them. Its similar to the normal mobile faacebook just it doesn't have the photo service, you can't watch any photo from this site. You'll get more information from here.

Sad but true, Bangladesh isn't listed for zero facebook!!!

Today we've changed our previous group name from We want facebook SMS service in Bangladesh!! to We want facebook SMS service & 0.facebook.com in Bangladesh!!

if you want to support us and want these services in Bangladesh, join this group (& request your friends) and write to facebook to start these services in Bangladesh.

Some comparison between other countries in terms of facebook popularity:

as I've mentioned initially that facebook is the second popular website in Bangladesh , In India its the 4th popular website and in Pakistan and Srilanka its in third position.

Don't understand after having extreme popularity in Bangladesh why facebook don't give the same importance what they give to other south Asian countries!!!!
