Unstructured Supplementary Data (USSD) is the technology worked out by telecom players to launch alerts to their users. The technology to assist users to launch and scrutiny updates on their friends’ Facebook walls. U2opia announced this application on Tuesday with telecom major Bharti Airtel.
Airtel has announced for its customers that from now onwards they can update their Facebook status via this USSD service free of cost, but Rs1 per day will be charged for accessing the full-feature application, which allows screening news feeds, commenting on or liking news feed stories, posting on friends’ walls, authenticating friend requests, seeing notifications and adding friends.
India has not still able to digest the Smartphone hype as such and that is the main reason that internet on mobiles is limited to key cities and many users are debarred from accessing their Facebook accounts through mobile phones.
