You are in some very remote place. There are no cyber cafes around. You can�t even access net on your mobile, because it doesn�t have GPRS connection. But, you are dying to check your Facebook account. You wish there was some magic which would let you do so. Well, someone has responded to your wish.

U2opia, a Singapore-based software applications developer, has developed a technology which allows users to access Facebook without GPRS connection. The technology works on any handset. The technology is called Unstructured Supplementary Data (USSD). This technology is used by telecom service providers to give service alerts after say a user makes a call or uses GPRS service. It is also used to provide menu based services to users.
