How to Mention friends on facebook mobile version

If you twitter addict you must know the function of mention which usually used “@” to link usernames so that people we mention will know our tweet as well as our followers do.
Facebook already used this way to mention your friendlist on status or while you reply by comment.
If you try to mention your friend on facebook, your friend will get notification as being mentioned so he knows what is going on recently on your status.
It is quite different with tagging friend on photo album or notes. To mention your friend in facebook, you just simply add “@” before username like “@deanmu” and it will be a link name like we did on twitter.
But unfortunately you can’t do this on facebook mobile version. However, there is a trick i had discovered around to make it able to mention.
As what i did on my last status via phone, you could see that i mentioned my friend just like picture above where it would be a link name that give him a notification.
Here are the steps to try:

Click your friend profile that you would like to mention, watch the address bar you will find id number for example
m.facebook.com/ photo.php? fbid=19222230560 see the numbers after “id” that is your friend id. You can use it to mention with this trick “@[123456:] remember to give bracket after @ and : at the end of id number.
However, sometimes you will find facebook.com/ username instead of id number. And to peep the username id, click your friend profile picture and point out your navigation to address bar, the id number will visible and copy it as the trick above. You can mention with this trick while you go online on facebook mobile version. You can mention to recommend friends or just call them out as well as you do on twitter. Hope it will help.
