Only sort of. I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook rejects Google Voices numbers and will only accept a real-live carrier numbers. It seems pretty easy to do, given how often my GV is rejected by sleezy services I'd like to give a throwaway (e.g. peoplesearch opt-outs).
However, I'm not going to personally test this theory by attempting to give a panopticon like Facebook even my semi-throwaway GV number.
- pilif 8y agoEven if FB was not allowing Google Voice, you could give FB the real number and give throwaway GB numbers to recruiters. That would solve the issue voiced by OP
- potatofarmer45 8y agoI imagine most people would have no idea their profiles could be searched via phone number. I didn't know until today. If it never occurred to you that this could happen, you would not take steps to prevent it.
- exhaze 8y agoLet me surprise you then so you can stop making false speculations - you can use a GV number for Facebook 2FA.
- lightedman 8y agoLet me surprise you since you seem to not know and so your idiocy can be corrected - GV only works in the USA.
