Facebook has announced that “more than 100 million people [are] actively using Facebook from their mobile devices every month”.

“This usage happens on almost every carrier in the world and comes less than six months after we announced 65 million people on Facebook Mobile.

Now, Facebook reported those 65 million mobile users in September, around the same time that it announced 300 million total active users (in other words, around 21.7% of users were using Facebook mobile).

Now they have 100 million out of 400 million total users accessing the site from their mobiles.

• Mobile websites: Our mobile sites m.facebook.com and touch.facebook.com have been redesigned, enabling people to access Facebook from any mobile browser in more than 70 languages. With the explosion of smart phones, we want to make sure people have a great Facebook experience that scales with their device especially as people have begun to upgrade their devices more frequently.

• Text messages: More than 80 operators in 32 countries enable millions of people around the world to stay connected and communicate with their friends on Facebook using SMS text messages. Recently we also launched a URL-shortening service called FB.ME that makes it even easier for people to share content. With FB.ME, you can share and access more through services like SMS that limit the number of characters in messages.

• Applications: Facebook is already one of the most requested services on mobile, and we work with every major device maker and mobile operating system to bring applications and integrations to all platforms. We're always improving these applications and have recently released updates for our applications on Android, Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia and Samsung. We also support a broad range of new Facebook experiences on devices from HTC, INQ, LG Electronics, Palm, Sony Ericsson and Microsoft's Windows Mobile.
