Facebook, Google, Twitter…. the companies we’re connected to online are practically essential for staying in touch and getting things done. If you want to see your Facebook updates, Twitter tweets etc. on your mobile, you will simply go to the opera mini browser or Facebook mobile application. Otherwise simply you may use your mobile phone default browser. All these requires a data plan or GPRS connection. If you don’t have GPRS data on your mobile, it is difficult to see updates from Facebook and twitter etc. But, here is the simple and most effective mobile application Shorthand, which works without any data plan or GPRS connection. Yes, Its true. Facebook updates, Twitter tweets, MapQuest directions... They're all work with your texting plan(SMS Plan). No data plan required!

With Shorthand, you can get weather forecasts from Google in 2 clicks, 5-star local restaurants from Citysearch in 5 clicks and your friend's Facebook updates in 3 clicks. It's just that simple.
What Makes Different? SMS and Short Codes
Shorthand TextApps send and receive information using SMS, also known as text messaging. Many text-messaging services are available today even without Shorthand, including Facebook and Google. What’s awesome about Shorthand is that you don’t have to remember or type any short codes or keywords! In fact, Shorthand adds extra functionality that’s not available over regular SMS. Simply scroll-and-click through a quick, intuitive menu and you've got exactly what you want.
Is it really free?
Yes, it’s true that we don’t charge you anything for the Shorthand.
Because Shorthand works with text messaging, standard messaging rates will apply based on the text plan you have with your carrier. What this means is that the messages used to update Facebook, get directions from MapQuest, update your Netflix queue, etc. will count towards your regular text messaging plan. To help you track how many messages you're sending and receiving, you can see message counter right into the Shorthand. To access the message counter from Shorthand's main menu select Options -> Message Counter.
Do I need a Data Plan?
Shorthand's TextApps use your text messaging plan and do not require a data plan.
However, downloading the Shorthand software the first time does use the data channel. If you don’t have a data plan, getting Shorthand on your phone will incur a one-time charge from the operator on your pay-as-you-go data rates.
One of the great things about Shorthand is that they are always adding new TextApps.
Why are you waiting, CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHORTHAND APPLICATION, click download and enter required fields.
Note: Downloading Shorthand and TextApps to your phone the first time will use the data channel. Adding new TextApps and updates will also use the data channel. Standard data rates apply.
