T-Mobile's budget subsidiary is offering free Facebook access--without a data plan Dec 23rd 2013, 17:27, by Evan Dashevsky GoSmart, T-Mobile's budget prepaid subsidiary, announced on Monday that it will give users free access to Facebook without a mobile plan. Beginning in January, GoSmart customers will be able to access the social network via the Facebook app, Facebook Messenger, or through a web browser. For free. While customers will have access anything in the Facebook ecosystem, they would not be able to, say, follow a link or watch a video in another page. But, for many users, being able to post updates, see what their friends are up to, and send messages may be all they really need—socially speaking. I'll be honest: I had never even heard of GoSmart before. While I spend my time covering unnecessary high-end mobile trends, it's easy to forget that there's a huge swath of the population that has no interest in shelling out a week's paycheck for the ability to play dress-up with their phone.
