How to SMS subscribe someone’s status update on (new?!!) Facebook!

Okey… This is stupid… Or stupidest…

A few months back Facebook rolled up the new interface, you already know that. Actually it stayed till this morning as a mystery that how to sms subscribe someone’s status. In previous interface it was so easy. We just go to the profile we want to get sms subscribed to, and scroll down to the bottom left and click ‘SMS subscribe’. Wolaaa!!!

But they took it off in the new interface.

Seriously Facebook has the worst customer care I have ever seen. Somehow I managed to find a mail id or something and mailed them the problem and never get replied. :s

So after thinking out for a while I figured out a simple way of doing it. It is like just going into a mobile site of Facebook, visiting the profile and then clicking ‘SMS subscribe’. Cuz the option was there.

So, the step 1, is something like you are in a PC viewing FB and you wanna SMS subscribe to your friend’s satus updates. Just go to their profile. So the link will be like, http://www.facebook.com/Muru.Neo . All you have to do is, instead of ‘www’ you have to put ‘m’ and press enter. So you should visit http://m.facebook.com/Muru.Neo where you can find the ‘SMS subscribe’ option. Okey, this is a baby step.

Step 2, is the original way that got implemented in new interface of Facebook that I haven’t figured out for so long. Here, all you have to do is, go to your ‘Account Settings’ and then click the ‘Mobile’ tab. There you will see a header as ‘Whose status update should go to my phone’. There you can type someone’s name and subscribe.

After finding this method I showed this to a friend, he asked “Why should I have to subscribe someone and get my inbox filled?”

Oh come on!!! :s
