Confirm a new Facebook account without your own number
Facebook may ask you to confirm a phone number when you create or secure an account. You can do it with a temporary virtual number instead of your personal SIM. Here is how.
When Facebook asks for a phone number
Facebook uses phone confirmation to verify accounts and fight fake profiles. A virtual number completes it without tying your personal phone to the account.
Step 1 — Get a virtual number for Facebook
Choose Facebook on the buy page and pay by card. You receive a private number able to get the SMS — public free numbers are usually already used and rejected.
Step 2 — Enter it in Facebook
Put the virtual number where Facebook asks for a phone, and request the SMS code.
Step 3 — Read the code on screen
The code appears on the order screen in real time. Type it into Facebook to confirm.
FAQ
Does it work for a new Facebook account?
Yes. The number receives the code Facebook sends during verification. Pick Facebook before paying.
Will Facebook keep my number?
It is a temporary number for verification, not a permanent line on the account.
