You can't be sure that Facebook doesn't have your number unless you have never given your phone number to anyone who uses Facebook and has your name and phone number. They could be friends, co-workers, relatives, delivery people, cab drivers and many other service providers. One of them shares their address book with Facebook and it knows. A few of them share their address books with Facebook and it's reasonably sure what your number is (names can be fuzzy matched to your profile).
- chii 8y agoThis is why I hate that people carelessly let any third party app have access to their contact list. I can keep my data out of Facebook,but "friends and family" usually aren't careful and get tricked into opening up all that info.
