facebook 501 -- setting up facebook with your cell phone

one of the great things about facebook is that you can set it up to send you text messages for certain things on your cell phone (standard text messaging rates apply). here is how to set it up:

1. from facebook, click on account settings from the settings menu on the top facebook toolbar (by your name).
2. click on the mobile tab under my account.
3. enter your cell phone number and select your carrier from the drop-down list and click on activate.
4. you will then receive a text message on your phone with a confirmation code that you will need to enter on the same page. enter the confirmation code and click on confirm.
5. you will then receive another text message saying that your phone has been confirmed.
6. by default, the texts are off, so you will need to select on to turn the texts on and then you can select which texts you want sent to your phone.
7. once you are done, click on save preferences.
