I've done and created a second account, which was reduced to a limited account the minute I linked my secondary phone number. Probably used that number on my old account already, so they were quick to strike it down.
I could not link a phone, but I need to link my phone number if I want to get access to more advanced functionality such as running ads, pages, et cetera.
Surely there are a thousand other ways I could sign up again -- but to be honest I don't want to jump through those hoops. I just want my account back. And since that isn't happening, I hope my tale serves as a warning for people never to rely on Facebook as they can take your access away if their bots think you're suspicious.
- Overtonwindow 5y agoYou give Facebook your phone number? Why? Is this a new requirement for an account?
- frabcus 5y agoIn my experience, yes. Also a few weeks into using an account I made for testing a product that uses their signin system, it asked me to scan in and upload my passport. Luckily it wasn’t a core part of my job so I just gave up having any kind of Facebook account. They really care that you have exactly one account in your real name.
- chris_wot 5y agoIf you screw up your personal details, you won’t be able to get back in. No matter how you try. It’s one of the best things that can happen to you, to be honest. Facebook is a cancer on society.
- yosito 5y agoSeems like going to the local corner store and picking up a prepaid SIM is an easy enough solution.
