Staying social while your mobile doesn’t mean you have to pay for a data plan. Using SMS, you can update and receive status messages from your favorite social networks using the messaging plan you probably already have.

在移动设备上保持社交状态并不意味着您需要为数据计划付费。 使用SMS，您可以使用可能已有的消息计划来更新和接收来自您最喜欢的社交网络的状态消息。

Using social networks via Short Message Service (SMS) will not only cut down on your mobile phone bill, it will also increase your phone’s battery life, and allow you to stay up to date with social networks without needing a smartphone. Being able to send a simple SMS makes updating fast and available on every mobile phone available today (so long as your plan supports it). During busy situations like natural disasters and large events, SMS is also much more reliable than data plans which makes it ideal if you just need to get the word out about where you are.

通过短消息服务(SMS)使用社交网络不仅可以减少手机账单，还可以延长手机的电池使用时间，并使您无需使用智能手机就可以随时了解社交网络的最新信息。 能够发送简单的SMS可以使更新Swift，并且可以在当今的每部移动电话上进行更新(只要您的计划支持)。 在诸如自然灾害和大事件之类的繁忙情况下，SMS也比数据计划更可靠，这使它成为理想的解决方案，如果您只需要知道自己的位置。

After a full week of using social networks this way, there were a couple of benefits I didn’t expect.

在以这种方式使用社交网络一整周之后，有一些我没想到的好处。

• I didn’t find myself anxious to check my social networks when I was at my computer. All of the people I cared to hear from, I already got notified.当我在计算机旁时，我并不急于检查社交网络。 我很想听到所有的人，我已经收到通知。
• I didn’t randomly check my phone when with other people; my phone now tells me when there is something worth checking.与他人在一起时，我并没有随机检查手机； 现在，我的电话会告诉我什么时候值得检查。
• I am able to check all of my social networks in a “unified app.” Managing updates and replies are all handled the same way weather they are for Facebook, Twitter, or Google+.我可以在“统一应用”中检查我所有的社交网络。 管理更新和回复的方式与处理Facebook，Twitter或Google+时的处理方式相同。

There are a few downsides of using social networks via SMS:

通过短信使用社交网络有一些弊端：

• Some social network don’t supports MMS messaging for pictures or videos. If your friends post pictures or videos, you’ll still need to load an app or visit the web page.某些社交网络不支持图片或视频的MMS消息传递。 如果您的朋友发布图片或视频，您仍然需要加载应用程序或访问网页。
• SMS messages have a 160 character limit, this is fine for services like Twitter and foursquare, but if you have long posts on Facebook or Google+, your message may lose formatting or be split into smaller updates.SMS消息的字符数限制为160个字符，这对于Twitter和foursquare之类的服务来说是很好的选择，但是如果您在Facebook或Google+上发布了较长的帖子，则您的消息可能会失去格式或分成较小的更新。
• You need to be selective in what notifications you get. Your phone may never stop getting messages if you got a text for every Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and Foursquare update.您需要对收到的通知保持选择性。 如果您收到有关Facebook，Google +，Twitter和Foursquare的每个更新的短信，则手机可能永远不会停止接收消息。
• There is some setup required, it’s not very hard and we’ll walk you through the steps below.需要进行一些设置，这并不难，我们将逐步指导您完成以下步骤。
• It will be impossible to distinguish between social network SMSs and normal SMSs. This means, if you are getting a lot of messages from social networks, you might miss important SMSs from friends.不可能区分社交网络SMS和普通SMS。 这意味着，如果您从社交网络中收到大量消息，则可能会错过朋友的重要短信。
• Some functionality is limited such as autofilling a friends name or replying to a post depending on what network you are on.某些功能受到限制，例如根据您所在的网络自动填写朋友姓名或回复帖子。
• To our knowledge, all of the numbers below only work in the United States. Sorry, rest of the world.据我们所知，以下所有数字仅适用于美国。 抱歉，世界其他地方。

All that aside, with some careful planning this method has worked great for me for the past week and I have fully cancelled my data plan saving me almost $600 a year.

除了所有这些，通过一些周密的计划，该方法在过去一周对我非常有用，我完全取消了数据计划，每年为我节省了近600美元。

Facebook (32665)

脸书(32665)

Facebook not only allows you to subscribe to your friend’s updates and post updates via SMS, but they also allow you to use Facebook chat. First you need to activate SMS messaging in Facebook’s settings. Get started by logging into your account and going to your account settings.

Facebook不仅允许您订阅朋友的更新并通过短信发布更新，而且还允许您使用Facebook聊天。 首先，您需要在Facebook的设置中激活SMS消息传递。 通过登录帐户并转到帐户设置来开始使用。

Click on mobile on the left and then add a phone using the steps Facebook provides.

单击左侧的手机，然后按照Facebook提供的步骤添加电话。

Now that your phone is authorized, edit the settings so they are exactly how you want.

既然您的电话已获得授权，请编辑设置，使其完全符合您的要求。

In the screenshot below we recommend checking the box by number 1, add whatever friends you want to receive notifications from on number 2, and set your settings for Facebook instant messages and daily limit next to number 3.

在下面的屏幕快照中，我们建议按数字1选中该复选框，添加您想从数字2接收通知的任何朋友，并在数字3旁边设置Facebook即时消息的设置和每日限制。

If you want to send pictures or videos to Facebook from your phone you’ll need to click number 4 to get your unique email address that will let you upload media messages.

如果要通过手机将图片或视频发送到Facebook，则需要单击数字4以获取唯一的电子邮件地址，该地址可用于上传媒体消息。

After you click on link four, look for your unique mobile upload email.

If you want to receive messages from Facebook pages, you’ll need to go to that page, and click “get updates via SMS” on the left hand column.

如果要从Facebook页面接收消息，则需要转到该页面，然后单击左侧列上的“通过SMS获取更新”。

You are ready to receive updates now. To send updates we recommend you add a contact named fbook to your phone with the mobile number 32665 and email address for mobile uploads.

您现在就可以接收更新。 要发送更新，我们建议您在手机中添加一个名为fbook的联系人，手机号码为32665，手机上传的电子邮件地址。

Twitter works much the same way for setup. Log in and go to settings -> mobile. Add your number and change the settings you want below.

您可以将文本或图片(MMS)发送给新的Twitter联系人，它们将自动发布到您的feed中。

One downside to Twitter SMS is if you reply to a tweet via SMS, it does not automatically send an @reply to the user who sent the message. You will need to manually add the @username information manually.

Twitter SMS的一个缺点是，如果您通过SMS回复一条推文，它不会自动向发送该消息的用户发送@reply。 您将需要手动添加@username信息。

四方(368266) (Foursquare (368266))

To activate Foursquare on your phone you need to go to DotGo and authorize their app to access your Foursquare account.

要在手机上激活Foursquare，您需要转到DotGo并授权其应用访问您的Foursquare帐户。

Once you receive your authorization pin, send an SMS to DOTCOM (368266) with the message “foursquare +pin.” You will then be sent a menu of commands you can use with Foursquare.

收到授权密码后，将SMS消息“ foursquare + pin”发送到DOTCOM(368266)。 然后，您将收到可与Foursquare一起使用的命令菜单。

The basic command you will probably use is “foursquare at place [zip code]”. The “foursquare at” command checks you in to the first search result for the place you specified. If you are not sure the place name you can use the “foursquare checkin place [zip code]” and you will be messaged back with a list of location that match your search. You can then check in to one of the returned results by just replying to the message with the number of the returned result.

您可能会使用的基本命令是“在地方放置Foursquare [邮政编码]”。 “ foursquare at”命令可将您签入您指定位置的第一个搜索结果。 如果不确定地名，则可以使用“ foursquare签到地[邮政编码]”，然后会向您发送消息，提示您与搜索相匹配的位置。 然后，您可以通过仅返回带有返回结果编号的消息来签入返回的结果之一。

Foursquare isn’t as intuitive as some of the other social networks, but we found it to be usable even without GPS assistance or a smartphone.

Foursquare不像其他一些社交网络那样直观，但是我们发现即使没有GPS协助或智能手机，它也可以使用。

If you need help, you can message 368266 with the word foursquare to get a list of commands.

如果您需要帮助，可以给368266加上单词foursquare以获得命令列表。
