    I added a form to my facebook page, but it does not appears on mobile devices. The URL dont even opens. If I move to a paid account, will I have mobile support for my form?

    Hello,

    We're sorry for the inconvenience you have.

    I have cloned your form on my side in order to check. I have seen that you do not have a mobile responsive widget on your form. Please add one as you can see the screenshot below:

    Every account has mobile support including Free accounts.

    I hope this will help you.

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, Facebook does not support Tabs on the mobile website.

    What you can try is adding a direct form link as a Contact Us button on your Facebook page.

    Alternatively, this is possible to embed the form with a 'Static HTML: iframe tabs' Tab App:

    Adding a form to Facebook (Custom iFrame App)

    They provide a special Tab link for mobile devices.

    Then, you can also use that mobile Tab link as the Contact Us button link.
