Keep in touch with Facebook statuses instantly through your Mobile phone. Reply or comment with text messaging. Keep in mind, longer status updates may be limited depending on how much yours or their's is and your mobile service providers limit on viewable text length. You may only see portions and not the full message. You may need to log on to Facebook to see the full post. And always be weary of hacked accounts. When in doubt, don’t reply or click on unfamiliar links or posts.
For easier readibility and following along of steps, I suggest you also check out my blog post: Side By Side by Side Windows Instructions. Words in capital lettering may not appear in capital lettering on Internet pages, it is used for emphasis and quick reference.

Once you get updates by text, you can reply text back and it will be viewed as a comment to their status update. Try to keep it short, longer texts may appear as two different comments. You may also be texted strings of comments after yours, which means you may get text messages of those that commented after you, not before you.
Remember, some longer comments or updates may be cut off depending on your mobile service provider. Not all comments may be seen depending on the Facebook user's privacy settings too. To view more of the string of comments you may have to log in to Facebook by your computer or phone app. There are several ways to do this.
Viewing more comments
