Perviously restricted to just Cingular users, Facebook has opened up the availability for any cellular user to access Facebook mobile at m.facebook.com. The mobile site makes the news feed, pokes, messages, status updates, profiles, photos and messages fit beautifully on the small screen. For those of you who are into the social web scene this will be a breath of fresh air.

Thanks for pointing it out Paul!

    Who knew when I accepted Brandon’s invitation that I would have a few minutes of fame on UNEASY Silence. Kinda funny.

  2. Dan says:

    How about a link to your website too – Enjoy the fame :)

    I have a strange problem where I can’t actually log in to Facebook from my mobile (I could on my old phone – same SIM). I get to the login site and enter my account details but it just flashes with the login screen again. Any ideas? It’s not my username/password as I can login fine on the computer using those details.

    Help! I’m addicted.

    Hi guys,
    I had this similar problem. It could be that your cell phone is using a wap proxy through your service provider. You need to reconfigure your phone to use a direct internet connection. These settings are similar to when you teether your phone to your laptop and use the phone as a modem.

  13. megs. says:

    I’m having the same stupid problem…i’ve tried numerous times, and i’ve gave up.

    It must be some sort of setting on the website. i used to use facebook on my phone all the time, before they created an area to go to with your cellphone browser…but since about november i haven’t been able to log in.
    help?

  14. stacey says:

  15. Taryn says:

    When I try login to facebook on my cellphone, the site gives the following error report: ‘request exceeded maximum number of redirects’. What can I do to get past this? Please help!

  16. CRT says:

    k, this is how it works..

    Somewhere below the login button (that I know doesn’t work worth anything and just looks like it does nothing.. been there, done that..), there’s a “Doesn’t work? Try http login” or something.. click it.. use it.. works.

  20. Can not login with my mobile.The login page keeps comin back up

  21. Vee says:

    I’m having the same problem as everyone and I’m on Vodacom,SA. Does anybody have an idea 4 what 2 do in this regard? I need access 2 facebook they’ve blocked it at work. Please help anybody.

  22. Sam Gadget says:

    Thanks Cheese – your solution worked.

    To everyone else having this problem you need to disable the proxy server settings. On a sony ericsson do this as follows:

    Go to ‘Settings’ then go to the ‘Connectivity’ tab scroll down to ‘Internet Settings’ then go to ‘Internet Profiles’.
    Highlight the profile you are using then press ‘More’ and select ‘Settings’. Scroll down to ‘Use Proxy’ and change this to ‘No’.

    Now when you try to log into Facebook Mobile it will still ask for your user name and password but now it will accept it rather than take you back to the log on screen again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
