Facebook Enables SMS Status Update for Public Profiles

Although status updates through SMS has already been active for personal profiles in Facebook, it is only now that Facebook is activating this feature for public pages – such businesses, brands and celebrity Facebook profiles. Unfortunately, SMS update works only for selected mobile carriers in Canada and the U.S., so for people like us in the Asian region, updating of our Facebook status via our mobile phones can either be done through the Facebook mobile phone interface.For active celebrity profiles, this could boost their popularity on Facebook as they can update their fans and followers about their whereabouts anytime.
