CORP TALK: Singapore-based telecom provider StarHub has now become the first mobile service provider in Asia to offer free access to MSN Live Messenger and Facebook to post-paid customers at no charge for data usage.

This service is currently available only on selected handsets, such as the Samsung OMNIA II, HTC Touch Diamond 2, Nokia E63 and the new LG GM730 multimedia touch-screen smartphone.

The LG GM730 is exclusively pre-installed with the Facebook client which allows mobile users a one-click easy access from the home screen. LG GM730 will start to retail tomorrow at all StarHub Shops and Exclusive Partners’ outlets.

To use Windows Live Messenger or Facebook from a supported mobile device, customers simply launch the application from the phone menu. No prior registration with StarHub is required.
