Manage your Facebook updates via E-mail
We all are using our smart phones for emailing every now and then to communicate with our friends, family and co-workers on the move. Don’t you think what if just sending an email; we get our Facebook status updated. Yes, you can, it is possible to update your Facebook status and lots more things by sending just an email. You can update your status, upload pictures and videos just after you click it to share with your Facebook friends within just few seconds.
No serious configuration, no software installation required. Your GPRS phone is enough. You only need to send an e-mail or MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) to your unique e-mail address assigned by Facebook. To get your unique e-mail address, go to http://www.facebook.com/mobile and see the Upload via Email column. Add that email address to your phone’s address book and be ready to share updates with your Facebook friends on the go.
Just not status updates, you can share pictures and videos too. Â Here is how:
Update status : just write your status message on the subject field
Upload Pictures and Videos : attach pictures or videos and write description on subject field – subject matter will be sent as description of picture or video
All the pictures/videos will be stored on mobile upload folder. Later on, you can move them to different folder/album and customize its access restrictions.
Like e-mail, you can use MMS to update your status and upload pictures and videos. Go to MMS compose menu and in the recipient number field, add your unique e-mail address.
Depending upon the operator and phone model, MMS is limited by size. Keep that in mind when sending large picture or video. While sending e-mail only data transfer is charged but in case of MMS, every MMS is charged on fixed rate.
Remember the most important thing; never share your unique address with others. Facebook doesn’t verify from which e-mail address you are sending your updates. Who have that unique address can easily post updates.
