Vodafone launches Facebook text service

Vodafone has launched a unique service that'll let UK mobile phone users send text messages from their Facebook profile to friends. The Vodafone Connect to Friends application lets Facebook users send texts (and, from later this month, picture messages as well) to mobile phones on any network. Vodafone is including 25 free text credits, with additional messages costing 10p for text and 30p for a picture. The service can be used by anyone regardless of their mobile network. [Press release]
