Facebook Mobile works by sending text messages to your phone depending on events you specify, including friend requests.
Depending on your phone plan, you may incur charges for receiving / sending text messages from / to facebook, so if you want to make sure that you don't receive any nasty surprises, I would advise you to ask your provider if they charge for receiving text messages FROM A WEBSITE (it's different for receiving from website, as opposed to another phone).
To signup for Facebook Mobile, go to: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Near the bottom of the page, enter your phone number, provider, and any other information it requests. After you have done that, click the button that corresponds to the text field . You will then receive a confirmination code on your phone, which you must enter onto the Facebook Mobile page in your browser.
Once it has confirmed your phone, you can set your mobile settings at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] . You can configure it to send you text messages on certain events, including friend request updates. Now, whenever there is a event on your facebook account, it will text you to notify you (if you chose to be notified).
The "m.facebook.com" function is the browsing of the facebook mobile site, m.facebook.com . This feature allows you to browse the actual facebook site (but in a mobile, condensed version) using your phone, as opposed to sending commands using text. This feature is unrelated to the facebook mobile texts stated above. If you choose to go this route instead, you cannot be updated in real-time about friend requsts, but you could browse to the site to check for requests (note that phone providers will probably charge you for using this service on a per-kilobyte/megabyte basis, unless your plan specificly states that this service is included.
