The Emirates' new integrated telecommunications service provider, Du, and social networking website Facebook have made announcement about free mobile browsing of the new 0.facebook.com website for its clients.

The 0.facebook.com website is a speedier, lightweight editoin of Facebook's mobile site m.facebook.com.

The novel internet site does not contain graphics or pics and the pages have been made for best possible performance on the high-tech telecommunications network in the Emirates.

The clients of Du would be capale of staying connected with the help of Facebook with their pals and family members from any mobile web browser for free.

But, in order to see a pic on Facebook, the users have to click on a link to the photo and they will be prompted that they are leaving 0.facebook.com.

Standard data charges will apply when a user leaves 0.facebook.com to see pics.

Farid Faraidooni, Du's chief commercial officer, stated, “Our mobile phone customers in the UAE are the first in the Middle East to experience this innovative service, in partnership with Facebook. With social media, and in particular Facebook, becoming an integral part of peoples' lives - from social use to business-related social media platforms - Du understands the continually evolving needs and demands of its modern customers.” (With Inputs from Agencies)
