Gemalto has launched its new SIM card-based Facebook service in Argentina, allowing users to access their Facebook accounts from their phones without the need to pay for a data plan. The service works with any GSM cellphone, and allows users to post updates and view comments from their friends.
While Facebook users across the world have been able to send status updates through SMS for some time already, the SIM-based service offers a number of other options compared to SMS. Once a user has put the Facebook SIM card in their phone, they will be prompted to register their Facebook account with it. From there, they are presented with a menu-based system to post updates, view comments, and check out posts on their friend's walls.
Gemalto's Facebook SIM service does not require a data plan, but that does not mean it is free. Users are offered a free trial, but once that expires, the service costs $1 per day, $3 per week, or $9 per month. Each service plan provides unlimited use of Facebook for their respective time periods. Gemalto's Facebook SIM service is available through Personal Argentina now. Check out the video below to see how it works on a basic phone.
