If not a frequent user of Facebook and just want a sneak peak to check your messages and posts . Use the website below. Its give your 10 minute free trail but after that its paid. Guess it only catches the browser and would not allow to login again. Here comes a trick reopen the browser and login again for next ten minutes. Yes you have to take some effort to use this service fee otherwise you can go for a periodic subscription
