    I've just set up an acount no problems using a @live.co.uk address, no phone verification.
    If at first you don't succeed, maybe bomb disposal isn't the best career choice.

    Maybe we are all in an alternate reality?:think:

    or maybe fishface is just dense as hell?

    I must say that I experienced the same thing as wishface when I joined fb. I couldn't post unless I verified via getting a text to my mobile. I don't recall the exact modalities, but I did comply and then all was well. I think I still have the text stored in the phone.

    Anyway if there are other ways of going about it, as others have explained, I think wishface ought at least to try. *waits for outraged fallout...* ;)
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    The only thing you can do is contact facebook and hope they reply. I'm not entirely sure what else you think others have suggested that I haven't tried. I've already said that I contacted them. What else would you suggest? Seance? Skywriting?

    it makes no mention of needing a mobile because you dont need a mobile.
    you can access the help centre without being logged in or registered. the link is at the bottom of the page.
    you are the one who claimed it requires you to have a mobile phone. everyone here has clearly stated that this is not true. so follow the easy to follow instructions i posted previously and do what it says.
    if you continue to have problems then i suggest you ask someone you know who is already on facebook to help you.

    Obviously some users do. If i didn't, I wouldn't get messages telling me to send my mobiel details every time i tried using the service. Did you not read where I had said that I had already contacted facebook and that they hadn't (and still haven't) replied?

    i did not tell you to contact facebook, someone else did. i stick by the advice i have given in previous posts.
    1. use the help centre.
    2. start a new profile from scratch.

    Loving the thread, ages since we had a good old ding-dong. :D

    For all you Fakebook fans.

    Tighten your Facebook privacy settings.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    using the help centre is contacting facebook.
    starting a new profile doesn't solve the problem.

    It might solve the problem if they only randomly apply this phone verification.

    Might be worth a try?
