How Can I Update My MySpace and Facebook at the Same Time from My Cell Phone?

Use text messages to update two statuses at once.

Social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook have made it easier than ever to let your friends know what you're up to. Even if you don't have a smart phone, you can send a status update to both sites through text messaging-enabled cell phones. This service is free, but your wireless service provider may charge you for sent and received text messages if you don't have an unlimited texting plan.

Instructions

1. Set up your phone to send texts to Facebook on the Facebook Mobile page. You will have to choose your location and carrier, send a text message to the Facebook number (32665 in the U.S.) and enter the confirmation code texted back to you.

2. Set up your phone to send texts to MySpace on the MySpace mobile page. Like the Facebook Mobile setup, you will have to confirm your phone number with MySpace and send a test message to the status update number (69772).

3. Write your status update in a new text message. Designate both the Facebook and MySpace numbers as the recipients. After you send the message, it should be posted to both profiles.

Tips & Warnings

• Most cell phones limit the length of a text message to about 160 characters, so keep this in mind when sending status updates through your phone; if your message is too long, it may get cut off.
