Socializing Costs to Shell Out Your Pockets


As the title goes Facebook is going to charge you for socializing….

You attended a meeting, a friend’s party, a gathering and you want to be friends with the ones you met..But unfortunately their profile settings doesn’t allow you to send a friend request to them, so you decide to message them in their Inbox and you find something different when you click on Send Message button..Yup you saw it right…Facebook is charging people for sending Personal messages to  Inbox if you are not friends with the person whom you are messaging.

For Indian residents the cost of sending a Personal message to unknown friend is Rs 19.11 as displayed on the message box..


It’s an initiative taken by Facebook to stop spam messages so that Spammers don’t spam with explicit content/harsh words to others account..See image below..Facebook says “Your Payment helps confirm your message isn’t spam, which isn’t allowed in Facebook messages”


Currently if you are unknown to a person you want to send a message, you can send message to Others Folder of the person..This is mostly going to be neglected most of the times by many people…as it goes with my case :P


So you have to buy a friend to be a friend for just Rs.19.11….

If you are newbie to FB and your friends profile doesn't allow to send requests ,you wanna add 10-15 friends that you know, either shell approx. Rs.300 for your friends or just meet them personally.
(Rs.300 me 15 friends…Sounds like someone selling friends in Black .. :D)

A good initiative taken by Facebook to bring and meet friends personally rather than sending messages on FB.

Past years trend of meeting and socializing in public parks,get together would return or not is still a question today…
