    Join Facebook without a Mobile Number

    Previously I have twice been a member of Facebook using my own details and twice it has been compromised so I deleted the account.

    Now there are some good groups that are certainly useful so I have created an anonymous hotmail email account and tried to join Facebook using it - all good, but Facebook then wants a mobile phone number as well with no option to tell Facebook there is no mobile.

    I have googled this and older links explain how to do this but Facebook as closed the door on this - current links indicate you need to buy a temp sim card mobile number and use that - a bit like using a hotmail account. Dont really want to do that.

    Surely there must be a way around this as not all people on Facebook will necessarily have a mobile phone.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    My initial thought was:

    * Join with your mobile number
    * Go through the verification process
    * Then change the mobile number to a fake number

    The only problem might be - if you ever need to do a password reset, FB would then send a txt to the "fake" number - essentially you would be locked out..

    I can give you a mobile no. I have the account for but it is no longer used. Want it?

    Thanks Ron but I have decided not to worry about facebook - all too hard.

    I just thought that there may have been a way of joining without a mobile - apparently not.

    Thanks

    Very good decision Garry
    Facebook sites are terrible anyhow and I take all opportunities to tell clubs that I am in that "No I cannot see your information on Faecebook" :-)

    Mate, if you’re getting hacked that easily you either have a very soft password, don’t have the 2 factor ID on (now why they need your mobile), or you were doing too many of those click bait test things...

    I’ve had a FB account for a long time, and haven’t come close to being hacked - I won’t click any of those BS links and I find the groups and interest pages very useful.

    I've never been hacked. Improve your password.
    Just buy a cheap pay mobile sim. If your mobile is dual sim you can have two.

    So I entered my mobile telephone number and it then asked me to upload a pic of myself which it did - not real issues with that.

    But then it wants me to upload photo ID - such as Drivers Licence, Passport etc - WTF - failing that things like electricity bills, rent bills, credit card/bank statements - wtf

    I happily provide those type of docs for bona-fide govt type identity checks but no way for Facebook - so it seems that unless I break my privacy I cannot become a Facebook member even with a mobile phone number - they do say they destroy the collected information after 30 days but you would believe Facebook - I dont.

    So no Facebook for me.

    Sounds like they’re cracking down on fake accounts by those measures.
