Carol,On the Facebook site, there are options to check / uncheck which updates you would like to recieve via text. This is under the mobile link, which can be found in your profile settings. There is also a limit option for the quantity of texts you recieve.
To have other people's status updates sent to you; you have to subscribe to their status from their page. Be careful of this though, as I did this accidently and have found no way to remove the option other than remove them as a friend.
I noticed they are offering free data service to their site, but I haven't looked into this as yet; that is, what hoops have to be jumped through to achieve this!!
Hope this is of some help. Regards, Mike----- Original Message ----- From: "Damon Rose" <damon.rose@xxxxxxxxx>

I don't think there should be any difficulties using the Facebook site specifically if you're able to use the rest of the web successfully.Some phone providers are giving free access to facebook and twitter too. Is O2 one of these? I'm not 100% sure if that's via the browser though, it could be from a bespoke app that's on the phone which could cause accessibility issues. But I think I'm going off the track here....Damon -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On BehalfOf Carol Pearson Sent: 04 September 2010 18:10 To: Access UK Mailing List Subject: [access-uk] A QUICK FACEBOOK QUESTION Hi all, I'm using Facebook again and back, primarily, using the http://m.facebook.com/site and finding it much easier both with the PC and also very good withthe BrailleNote.When on Facebook before, I used the main site and signed up to use my mobile as well. However, at the time it just didn't work. I could send updates but never received mobile messages from Facebook. I thereforedidn't bother about this and left it.I'd now like to use my mobile from time to time and wonder if anyoneusingO2 is satisfactorily doing this, both to send updates and also to receive others' comments? If you are, can you please outline any steps in my getting it right this time around? Do you think it may have been that I was on a Pay as You Go tarriff when last I tried? I'm now on acontract, so maybe it can work for me this time around. Thanks in advance for any help offered on this. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe]** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq http://www.bbc.co.uk/This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
