You can use a PC, laptop, or smartphone to register for Facebook using a phone number. The registration steps include the following basic information:

Step 1: Access the Facebook.com website and select the green Create New Account button on the top right corner of the screen.

Step 2: Fill in all the necessary information including: First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, New Password, Date of Birth, Gender. After filling in, click the green sign up button at the bottom.

Note: At this step, you can enter an email instead of a phone number, but if you want to register with a phone number, do not enter an email!

Step 3: The screen will switch to the next registration page. A verification code consisting of 5 digits will be sent to your phone. You open your phone messages and check.

Step 4: After entering the verification code and clicking continue, the screen will redirect you to the “Welcome to Facebook” page. You will need to update some more personal information such as interests, nicknames, profile pictures, cover photos…

Notes when registering for Facebook using a phone number

The phone number is the main tool for you to log in to Facebook, especially in case of forgetting the password or needing to change it. So when choosing a phone number to register an account, you need to ensure that you are using your own SIM card that is not locked in one or two directions. Avoid situations where you lose your phone or your SIM card is locked, which means losing your Facebook account.

In case you receive a verification code from Facebook, quickly fill it in before the verification code expires. If you do not receive the SMS verification code, check if the +84 prefix (for Vietnam territory) is correct. If you still do not receive the verification code using the correct phone number, you must create an account using email.

How to enhance 2-step security for Facebook accounts

After successfully registering for Facebook using a phone number, to enhance account security, you can use the “2-step verification” feature. When you enable this feature, every time you log in to Facebook, you will be required to enter a special login code or scan a QR code on your mobile device.

The special login code and QR code will be displayed in software that you need to download according to Facebook’s instructions. In case you want to use your phone number to receive the “special login code” via SMS, follow these steps:

Step 1: On the Facebook profile page, click on “Settings & Privacy”.

Step 2: Select “Settings” => “Password & Security” => “2-Factor Authentication”.

Step 3: Select text message (SMS) and enter your phone number.

Step 4: The system will send a text message with 6 digits to your phone, enter it into the requested box on Facebook.

Step 5: Confirm your selection and you have successfully enhanced security.

Therefore, every time you log into your Facebook account, whether it’s from a familiar device, a new device, a public or anonymous browser, you will need to confirm via OTP sent to your SMS.

In addition, you can add extra security layers to your Facebook account by:

Regularly check and update your phone number or email when receiving notifications from Facebook.
Do not post content that violates ethical standards under Facebook’s law.
Do not click on unclear sources/spam links.
Do not use one phone number to register more than 2 Facebook accounts, as you may lose your account.
Fill in a strong password (including letters, numbers, and a special character).

Conclusion

Above is the latest way to register for Facebook using a phone number. Wish you successful registration and have fun experiences on this social networking platform!
