Facebook 0 was originally announced back in February. Facebook has presumably been hammering out deals with carriers since then, and it has quite a few on board with more on the way.
Facebook just got a lot more accessible to international users. The social network has launched 0.facebook.com, a special mobile-only site that can be accessed free of charge on select carriers. The lightweight site omits photos but includes core functionality like News Feed, status updates, profile Walls and messaging. And most important, Facebook has partnered with over 50 mobile carriers to offer free access to the site, without any data fees.
Below are the screen shots for both 0.facebook.com and the normal Facebook mobile.
