Your Phone Number On Facebook

Facebook has the provision of adding your phone number in your Facebook profile information.  Just like the email address in your account,  the phone number can be used to log in or to recover your account when you are unable to log in.

If you had added a phone number during registration,  you can add a phone number to your Facebook account at any time.  You can have as many of your phone numbers as you want so long as they are confirmed.


How To Add a Phone Number on Facebook:

Adding a phone number to your account is pretty easy. On your computer, go to the Mobile Settings page while signed in to your account.  
Click on the 'Add a Phone'  button.  If you already  have a phone number on your account,  you can add another by clicking on the 'Add another mobile number' link.

For a phone number to be valid on Facebook, it has to be verified.  When you add the number,  a verification code will be sent to your phone.  Enter that code in the text box provided and click 'Confirm'.
