Vodafone Offers Free Facebook for its UK Customers
Vodafone are offering their customers in the United Kingdom, the advantage of yet another Free Firiday offer from the ISP. The offer this time, is a weeks’s Facebook usage for free, through their mobile phone or mobile broadband service. For those who joined late, Facebook is a greatly popular social networking website.
The Facebook offer that is part of the Free Friday Promotion package of Vodafone had begun in May 2009, with the offer of free mobile internet. This was followed by the first launch of mobile DRM free music in the United Kingdom. However, the new offer is different from the previous ones, for it lasts for just one week.
With this offer, Vodafone is targeting the increasing Facebook users in the country hoping that they, in their turn would embrace the offer that enables them to receive free Facebook text alerts subscription as well. However, a point that the users must watch is the probability of their browser pointing to another site, in which case the charges start once more.
After the commencement of the free Facebook offer on July 24, the customers of the ISP would be able to sign in to Facebook’s website to select their notifications of choice for free text alerts, pokes and status updates. They can also choose their friends from whom they wish to receive the updates. The customers are also entitled to respond to the alerts by text, which would be charged standard text rate.
Vodafone has dedicated a part of their website to the information of the new customers signing up to the free Facebook offer. To get the set up details, the customers were simply required to text to 97886, ‘Friends’. This would help the customers receive a link, which would take them directly to Facebook. The URL of the Facebook dedicated page in the official website of Vodafone is Vodafone.co.uk/Facebook.
