[Help] How to use Facebook and Twitter without Internet!

Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast of the United States and, in addition to property damage, has created several service problems. Many users, in fact, have lost access to the Internet via Wi-Fi and via mobile networks. Hence, the desire to remember a few methods to post messages on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter to allow friends and family to know that it's okay to ask for help or when there is a data connection.

Assuming that, in the absence of data connection, you can use the now old text messages, just remember that for Twitter you need to activate your mobile phone number on Twitter.com.

Just log-in to the Twitter home page, then go to 'Settings' and enter in the 'Mobile'. Once you enter the mobile phone number in the 'Enable Twitter via SMS', you must click on 'Activate Phone'.

Once this is done, you should receive a text message indicating that your phone has been activated. You should also see the new settings on the web page allowing you to enable or disable text notifications.

Now, to use Twitter, just type a text and send to 40404.

If you are more fans of Facebook , do not worry. You can update your status via SMS and more. You can subscribe to updates from friends and even use Facebook chat. Again, to access these features, you must connect your phone to your Facebook account.

Once logged on Facebook.com, you will need to enter in 'Account Settings'. Then in the 'To Mobile' you would enter your number after clicking on 'Add a phone number' (you will be asked to re-enter your password for security reasons). Then you have to select the country and operator. Once this is done, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the operation.

In the end, you will receive a confirmation number on your mobile phone. Enter the number on the same page mentioned above. You should then receive a text message confirming that the phone has been activated.

Now, update your status, simply write a text and send it to 32665.
