SingTel 'likes' Facebook through prepaid mobile plan

[SINGTEL] SingTel has added Facebook to its arsenal of app partnerships, launching Singapore's first prepaid mobile plan for the social networking app.

Under the non-exclusive tie-up, the telco will offer three kinds of Facebook plans to its prepaid customers. The pricing structure is identical to its WhatsApp prepaid plan - 50 cents for a day, $3 for seven days and $6 for 30 days. The plans cover Facebook data usage of up to one gigabyte (GB) a day.

"Many of our customers are avid Facebook users who frequently access the site via their smartphones and tablets. The plan we launched today enables our prepaid customers to get their Facebook fix without worrying about incurring additional data charges," said Johan Buse, SingTel's vice-president of consumer marketing.
