Facebook Launches SMS Service for Pages - Now People Can Become Fans Anywhere

Facebook has just launched a new way for people to become fans of Facebook Pages: SMS text messaging.

Now, celebrities, business, and brands will be able to get more Facebook fans at events and conferences and through TV and radio campaigns by asking fans to text “fan [your ID here]” to Facebook. For example, you can now become a fan of Inside Facebook by texting “fan insidefacebook” to FBOOK (32665).

Text messaging is a fantastic way for Facebook to expand the tools marketers can use to drive new fans to their Facebook Pages (now also called “public profiles” – we know, it’s confusing).
