If you haven’t subscribed to Pring yet, It is required to register yourself first there. You can also register from your mobile phone, but in order to receive updates from Facebook, you need to login to Pring’s website to allow pring to access your Facebook account.

2. Go to Settings>Network

3. Click the “Connect with Facebook” button.

4. You’ll be redirected to you facebook profile where Pring will ask you to allow access to your facebook account. Click all “Allows” and you’ll be back to your pring’s profile page.

That’s it! from then on you’ll see all updates/messages from your cell phone will go to go to facebook and updates from your friends on facebook will be sent as text messages to your cell phone from where you can reply them too via sms.

After connecting you can do two things:

1. Receive Facebook friends’ updates on Pring (from both web and cell)

2. Set Facebook status update via web or cell.

If you go to your Pring’s Settings>Network page again, you’ll see two options:


- Full Facebook Synchronization

In the Full Synchronization mode. Any update you do on Pring will be reflected on your Facebook account as a status update.
This means whenever you send a message/update to pring, will be automatically be sent as status update to your Facebook profile.

- Selective Facebook Synchronization

In this mode you will need to add @fb before any update to make it appear on facebook. So if you have this option enabled updates without @fb will not become your Facebook status. So updates with @fb either from Pring will become your facebook status while those which do not start with @fb will only set on Pring.


To turn this thing off, go to Pring Settings>Network again, and click “Disconnect” button to turn off twitter connection.
