Vodafone UK customers are going to be getting free Facebook access for a week on their mobile (or PC via mobile broadband), starting on Friday 24th July.
Interestingly, this free period is going to form part of Vodafone’s Free Friday series – combining, as far as I am concerned, the great singular concepts of Free, and Friday! Yay!
Vodafone has already done Free Fridays for both Mobile Internet access, and also for Free Music Friday, but just for a day – however this is the first time the free period is going to last a week.
A nice combo on Vodafone’s part is also that they are going to start free Facebook text alerts (incoming texts will be free, outgoing texts will cost, jfyi!) – these can be configured at www.facebook.com/mobile.
If you want to know more you can go here, or alternatively text Friends to 97886 – after which you’ll get a link back that takes you to Facebook.

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
