- lambada 15y agoI'm fairly certain this is untrue. Looking at the signup form, all I can see is name, email, password, birthdate and gender. They may ask for it later, but that almost certainly is optional.
- zizee 15y agoThis is sort of true. If you want to use the account as a developer account you have to register your phone number. Also probably to advertise. I recently wanted to create an "Admin" account for a client I was developing a web-app for as I didn't want to link my personal facebook account to my work. But with the phone number requirement the account got flagged and rejected from the system. Frustrating!
- DennisP 15y agoIf that's true, a $15 tracfone takes care of it.
- markokocic 15y agoSorry, but fake facebook account isn't worth that much. YMMV.
- morsch 15y agoThere are SIP providers which offer phone numbers on their free tiers. But I'm sure they would appreciate registering throwaway accounts even less than Facebook and its ilk.
