Create a Facebook account without a phone number

Can you create a Facebook account without a phone number? Yes. Facebook's official Create a Facebook profile help says you enter your name, an email address or mobile phone number, a password, your date of birth and gender, and then confirm the email address or mobile phone number you used. So you can sign up with an email address instead of a phone number. You do need one of the two: the same help says you must confirm your email address or mobile phone number to finish creating the account.

This guide is for creating your own account without handing over your personal number. It does not cover bulk sign-ups, getting around a ban, or getting into someone else's account.

What Facebook official help says

Checked 12 November 2026, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur:

• Create a Facebook profile: "You must be at least 13 years old to create a Facebook profile." Go to facebook.com, click Create new account, enter your name, email address or mobile phone number, password, date of birth and gender, then click Sign up. "To complete the process of creating an account, you need to confirm your email address or mobile phone number."
• How two-factor authentication works on Facebook: two-factor authentication can use a security key, login codes from a third-party authentication app, or text message (SMS) codes, and you can get 10 recovery login codes for when you can't use your phone.

The official Facebook help articles opened the same day do not publish a ban on VoIP or virtual numbers. Facebook still decides whether a number is accepted, and a code is not guaranteed.

Option 1: sign up with an email address

1. Go to facebook.com and click Create new account (or open the Facebook app).
2. Enter your name, an email address you can open, a password, your date of birth and gender.
3. Click Sign up.
4. Confirm the email address with the code Facebook sends to it.

Use an email address you will keep: it is how you get back into the account if you forget your password.

If you don't want to use your personal number: use a one-time number to receive the code

If Facebook asks you for a mobile number and you would rather not give your own, you can receive the code on a one-time number:

1. Open the Facebook service page and choose a country, for example a USA virtual number for Facebook or an India number for Facebook.
2. Copy the number from your order in international format and enter it on Facebook's screen.
3. Wait for the SMS on your order and enter the code. SMSPing numbers receive SMS only.

The price is deducted from your SMSPing balance when you place the order. If no SMS arrives, cancel the order while it is waiting, or let it time out. If an order is canceled or times out with no SMS, the charge is returned to your SMSPing balance, once per order; the balance is not withdrawable.

Prices change. The price shown before you confirm is the one that applies. On 12 November 2026, 18:21 MYT (UTC+8), Facebook numbers were listed in stock for the United States and India. Paying: Top up your account with USDT (TRC20/ERC20/BEP20, recommended); TRX, ETH and BNB are also accepted. Minimum top-up $10.

Risks to know before you use a one-time number

• It cannot be used later for account recovery. You will not have access to the number after the order ends. After sign-up, add an email address and a phone number you will keep, and turn on two-factor authentication with an authentication app or a security key. Save your recovery login codes. Do not use the one-time number for SMS two-factor authentication.
• Facebook may reject the number or not send the SMS. Try another number or country, or sign up with your email address.
• If no code arrives, cancel the order or let it time out; the charge is returned to your SMSPing balance. See Facebook verification code not received for more checks.
