How to Change Your Confirmation Phone Number on Facebook

Your mobile phone number is also used to log in to Facebook on your phone.

The confirmation phone number on Facebook is used to link your mobile phone and online account. If you have a new phone number, you need to change or update the information before continuing to use certain mobile services provided by Facebook, including text notifications. After confirming your new number, you will receive the same mobile services through Facebook you were originally receiving. You need your mobile phone handy to change the confirmation phone number.

Instructions

1. Log in to your online Facebook account with your email address and password.

2. Click "Account," and then click "Account Settings" in the drop-down menu.

3. Click "Mobile" and review the list of mobile phones associated with your account.

4. Click "Remove" next to the phone you want to change. Click "Remove Phone" to confirm your selection.

5. Click "Register for Facebook Text Messages," and select your country and mobile carrier from the drop-down menus. Click "Next."

6. Text "F" to 32665 from your mobile phone. A confirmation code will be sent to the phone.

7. Enter the confirmation code in the appropriate field in the "Activate Facebook Texts" window and click "Next." A confirmation is displayed when the code is verified.
