If you don't have a smartphone—or if you don't have consistent Internet connectivity on your phone—you can still use Facebook on the go with Facebook texts.
This feature allows you to post status updates and send messages by sending text messages from your phone. However, Facebook texts don't offer much other functionality—if you do have a smartphone, we strongly recommend using the Facebook mobile app instead.

Note that standard text messaging rates will apply, so you'll want to have a texting plan for your phone if you use this feature.
