I'm in a wired situation, I opened my facebook account with a phone number, not email, my username is phone number I had ~5 years ago. I lost the sim card ~4.5 years ago, so since then I still use the same login. Every time I login facebook asks me to update my phone number because it's no longer valid, so they probably know it's been recycled and someone else owns the number. Another thing... a year ago, I got a new sim card with new phone number again (I change my number every 1-2 years), and since that time I can't use this phone number to setup 2FA because... someone else on Facebook has this number in their profile!
- batuhanicoz 8y agoIt's admittedly off topic but if you don't mind me asking, what are the reasons for you to change your number every 1-2 years? Doesn't that complicate things with past clients, old friends and maybe even with family? I changed my number 3 years ago but I still keep my old number active because it occasionally gets calls or text from past contacts.
- akerro 8y agoI don't use phones for communication, I much more relay on emails. My friend and family know how to contact me and they know that my phone number might stop working any time. I don't give phone numbers to clients, as I don't want to be disturbed when they want something, instead I respond to emails when I have time.
