MTN launches Facebook ZERO The MTN Group today announced that it is launching Facebook ZERO, a mobile website that will allow its customers free mobile browsing on the new site: http://0.facebook.com. The service will enable users to stay connected through Facebook with their friends and family from
any mobile Web browser without incurring any data charges. Facebook Zero is optimized for speed – it is a new faster, lightweight version of the Facebook mobile site m.facebook.com. The site does not have graphics or photos, and facebook zero’s pages have been designed for performance on MTN’s network. Photos posted on Facebook are only one click away from facebook zero. Standard data charges will apply when a person leaves 0.facebook.com to view photos. Says MTN Group’s Chief Marketing Officer, Ms Santie Botha: “In the true spirit of innovation and
bringing our customers convenience - including the latest in technology at affordable rates - MTN has
collaborated with Facebook on this venture to ensure our customers are among the first to benefit
from this social service and communication offering for free. “We recognise that many of our customers across our footprint in Africa and the Middle East are on
Facebook and use it to keep in touch and share special moments with family and friends. As an
emerging markets player, we also understand our subscribers’ challenges in terms of costs and ease
of access to the Internet. “We are always looking to work with innovative companies to provide simple and fast mobile access
to Facebook across the world,” said Henri Moissinac, Head of Mobile Business, Facebook. “Thanks to
our collaboration with MTN, people will now be able to access Facebook for free through http://0.facebook.com.”
