You can also comment on your friends’ status updates directly from your phone by replying to the text messages you receive. You can even subscribe to mobile updates from the Facebook Pages of your favorite celebrities, public figures, businesses and organizations.
If you already have Facebook Mobile activated for your phone or device, then you will begin receiving the text message updates after confirming your subscription. If you haven’t yet set up Facebook Mobile, you will be taken through a series of steps to activate it before receiving text messages.
While Facebook does not charge for this service, your mobile-service provider’s standard text messaging rates will apply so be sure to check with your provider. You can stop receiving text message status updates from your friends and connections at any time. Unsubscribe in one of three ways: reply directly from your mobile phone with “unsubscribe,” return to a friend’s profile and click the “Unsubscribe from SMS Updates” link.
