This is not the case of using facebook its a service if some one sent you a message or post comments on you facebook wall you will receive SMS and u can reply back
Is there any chance that Propakistani and Telecomnewspk.com are sisiter websites or having nay relation(like in terms of admin etc), coz these two websites resembles a lot.
There is no relation between the both websites, however, the owner of TelecomNewsPK.com is my friend and now a competitor : – P
LOL-I knew there is something fishy about these two websites.
This service was introduced by Telenor quite a while back. It’s not an exclusive Warid-only service.
yaar Telenor ki facebook service toh kaam hi nai karti..koi alert hi nai aata :( but this service is working fine on Warid
actually i use this service
updates initialized by u r charged @ re.1 but when u reply back to respond to friend’s comment or add someone for example, you will be charged international sms.
facebook charges about rs 2 including tax for this service. which is costly for frequent updates. i just found an application on facebook which lets you do the same. they use a normal telenor number, so if you have subscribed to some sms package, then its really cheap =D and it works with any network thats great!
