Facebook for Every Phone mobile app availableJuly 13, 2011 - 13:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Facebook officially launched Facebook for Every Phone, a downloadable native mobile app compatible with 2500 different feature phones. According to Inside Facebook, the app is a rebranding and improvement on the “Facebook for Feature Phones” app Facebook built with Snaptu before it acquired that company in March. The app brings a smartphone-like experience to less advanced handsets, and includes the ability to upload photos and pull a phone’s contacts into the Facebook Friend Finder. The app will help users of older phone models, including many in the developing world, gain access to more Facebook features. To make sure users get hooked on this deeper experience, Facebook has collaborated with 20 international carriers to offer 90 days of free data access to the app. Now Facebook has renamed the app Facebook for Every Phone, added new features, and made deals for temporary free access from 20 more carriers including several from countries with fast-growing Facebook populations such as India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The app was specially designed to require less data transfer than mobile sites or Java apps, so low costs should encourage users to pay for access after the free trial expires. Users can download the app by visiting m.facebook.com, scrolling all the way to the bottom of the news feed, and following the download link. Facebook for Every Phone is also available in popular feature phone app stores such as GetJar, Appia, and Mobile Weaver.
