i have a lot of accounts two years ago. but i am facing problems in creating new ids in fb. they want phone verification. how can i avoid it?
Well i think its just a way to boost there account security and i think its better that way, because its going to minimize the hacking rate.
but i become bore to verify via phone. it is not so serious thing to verify your social networking account via mobile!!!!
Phone verification is most important, since most of the persons are creating more unwanted profiles...
I also met this problem. I tried to replace an new phone numbers for my account, it always failed. Then I added another number though this link, it works: https://www.facebook.com/update_security_info.php
Do you not own a phone? You're entitled to one account, most people have one phone, I don't see the problem.
Well, i think the reason behind this is to fight against spammers and chose wisely the accounts that need to be created as the number of hackers is increasing drammaticaly, also to see if one person has more than one account...
there are some other reasons too as you know some games like farmville and all,people used to make dummy accounts and making FV cash
They put phone verification for a couple of reasons. 1. To prevent people farming accounts and spamming friend requests and advertisements, which has plagued fb 2. to heighten account security 3. because gmail and a few other big sites have started doing it
They have added this addtional feature just to boost up their security system. FB has been under a lot of heat and this is just one of their precautions. The same thing can be seen with a Google account. I just enter the same number every time and it has no problems for me.
