Update Twitter and Facebook Status via SMS in Pakistan

Feeling bored or just have to share something with your friends on Facebook or Twitter? It’s now as simple as sending a text message and hitting send.

mobi2weet is probably the best and fastest service that brings the power of mobile twitter and Facebook use to the mainstream for Pakistani public . The best part is you don’t need a GPRS connnection activated and there are no hidden charges.

Although the SMS services are offered by both Facebook and Twitter but unfortunately Twitter doesn’t support SMS tweets for Pakistanis and on the other hand Facebook offers SMS updates but charges Rs.1+tax for Pakistani Mobile users.

By Subscribing to Mobi2weet you can update your facebook status or tweet your followers by some simple sms commands. No matter what cellular network you are using. You are charged at standard rates by your cellular service (or by sms bundle package you’re subscribed to) as text messages to mobi2weet are sent at local cellular numbers.
