Mobile Facebook browsing just got a lot cheaper if you're a DiGi subscriber. Facebook's new mobile site, 0.facebook.com is accessible via any mobile device that is registered on the DiGi mobile network without incuring any additional data costs.

This is great news if you're a facebook addict who doesn't want to get on an unlimited data plan just to update your status messages or check what your buddies are up to on the go. The tie up between Facebook and DiGi will allow all DiGi subscribers to enjoy cost-free access to the wildly popular social networking site.

There are a few catches however. The new site is designed to be faster then Facebooks core website as well as its traditional mobile site, but will not display photos by default. Clicking on an external link will bring up the pictures, but these will cause data charges to be turned back on. A popup confirmation will be displayed before you are allowed to leave the cost-free Facebook site.

Facebook is promising to get more mobile carriers onboard their cost-free mobile edition, so watch this space for updates.
