Join Facebook via mobile & get Rs. 50 talktime

Thursday, November 22, 2012
Facebook in a unique marketing initiative is offering Rs. 50 free talktime to every new sign ups via mobile in India.With more than a billion users on-board globally, it eventually is trying to attract users from the vast & fast growing Indian mobile subscriber base of over 900 million.Considering the fast growing market of mobile devices, it's a well directed move.

Indian mobie users can point from their mobile to the url : http://m.facebook.com/tt to sign up and get Rs.50 talktime that would be credited to their mobile account within 3 days as Facebook claims. Additionally, they may avail Rs. 50 for each referral, although referral policy is not quite clear as there is no Terms of Service link published on the aforementioned link.

 PRO side : Through this strategy Facebook is sure to attract  many youngsters, who are still not on FB to join in.
Con side : In India, where a person uses multiple SIMs & there are many who change their SIMs once the free bundled talktime is gone, fake profiles & spams are inevitable.It's time to see how Facebook counteracts it !
