Direct link to Facebook mobile site using pageID

graph.facebook.com/cocacola will tell you that the id for the cocacola page is 40796308305.

You can get to the cocacola page using either www.facebook.com/cocacola or www.facebook.com/40796308305.

However, to get to the mobile facebook site m.facebook.com/cocacola works, m.facebook.com/40796308305 doesn't.

For reasons I won't go into I have the pageID, not the vanity url and I need to link to the mobile site.

Specifically, I'd like to link to the equivalent of m.facebook.com/cocacola?v=feed to link to the wall instead of info.

So, I either need a way to link to a mobile page using the page id or a way to make the regular www link redirect to the mobile wall instead of the info page.

I had the same problem with a link on a website, but I don't want everyone to go to the mobile site, just those on mobile devices.

The solution was to add ?v=wall to it. It works for both desktop and mobile now. Here is what my link looks like now: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Virginia-B-Andes-Volunteer-Community-Clinic/153180528039538?v=wall

The simplest way I found to get the mobile version of any Facebook page is to go the desktop version of the page on your browser of choice and then replace the www with m and press Enter. The Facebook Mobile Web version of the page loads in your browser.

You may need to create (or discover the already created) proper "name" ID and use that together with the pageID as your landing page, for example, mine works as follows: http://m.facebook.com/pages/BCmoney-MobileTV/190267987672979

But using just my pageID it does not: http://m.facebook.com/pages/190267987672979

In addition, you could use the Graph API to deduce the "vanity URL" as you refer to it: http://graph.facebook.com/40796308305

Looks like this is the page you're looking for: http://m.facebook.com/pages/Coca-Cola/40796308305
