Did you know that you can access some basic websites for free depending on your mobile operator? You only need the application Free Basics by Facebook

Join Facebook and other websites for free

Sometimes Facebook also has its good points. In 2013, the company partnered with several Mobile Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to provide free access to various websites, thereby promoting internet use in developing countries. The initiative started life as Internet.org, although it is now known as Free Basics by Facebook.

Can I connect to the internet for free?

This platform gives customers of certain mobile operators free access to some websites that are considered "basic". For example, you can access BBC News, AccuWeather, ESPN, BabyCenter and MAMA, UNICEF and of course Facebook. However, depending on which country you are in, the available portals may vary.

In other words, if you download the APK file you'll have the possibility to communicate with other people, look for work and consult news, just to mention a few examples. Of course, we must have a valid phone number and our operator must be a participant in the program. If so, we are not charged for the data we use to browse this app (but the rest still has its corresponding costs).

Ultimately, the big goal is for everyone to be able to surf the Internet, regardless of whether they have the money to pay the data fee or not. However, a cell phone number and a SIM card are required.

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.1.
