You can still use messaging on the basic mobile site, https://mbasic.facebook.com, which doesn't even need Javascript.

Unfortunately, that's not my experience.

Going to https://mbasic.facebook.com/messages gets me the following:

> Your Page's Inbox is not currently available in the > Facebook app or mobile web browsers. You can access > your messages through a desktop browser, or by > downloading Facebook Business Suite or Messenger > from the app store.

In one comment on HN[0], a user suggested:

> You may need to access the page by clicking a link > from another mbasic page in order to have some kind > of checksum in the URL.

Another user replied that they were able to get access to the page with that method[1], but I haven't been able to replicate it.
