How to Verify a Facebook Account Without Text
When you start Facebook on your mobile device for the first time, Facebook asks you to verify your account. Facebook sends a text message to your phone with a confirmation code. If you can't use text messages on your phone, Facebook provides another way to verify the mobile account for people who have an email address from a college or university.

Tips & Warnings
