Facebook Support?

Is there a way of contacting them without logging in to your account?

I decided to join earlier today but somehow got my mobile phone number wrong. After successfully inputting some profile data and logging out, on trying to get back in I got the "unusual activity" and now it wants two step verification. I can generate the code via email okay, but not the one by sms. If I try and enter an alternate phone number in the prompt box, comes back as invalid.

I've tried the Forgotten Account details to rest password but it still wants that second code which I can't get. There doesn't appear to be any actual support until you log in. I've now had a message saying my account will be deactivated in 48 hours, presumably because they think my attempts to recover it are someone hacking the thing.

Not exactly what you want but may work.

Might be a similar one.

Make a new account

I've tried sending a message to the link but as it doesn't ask for your personal details not sure what success it will have, though I input my account name in the text.

As the chap above states, probably just need to let this account fail and set it up again (sans mobile number).

Do yourself a favour and forget creating an account

Id say the samaratans would be a good place to start

This. No doubt you'll say 'oh but its just for looking at family photos' but then 3 weeks later you're either sharing photos of a lost dog in new zealand hoping to reunite it with its owner or angrily commenting on southend news network articles.

Just save yourself the braincells.

I treat Facebook mostly as a spectator sport and I think it's worth an account just for that alone, depending on who you know. There's quite a lot of opportunity for a good bit of old schadenfreude when you're in the mood.

Wow, that makes me sound quite dark. I'm not a lurking sociopath, promise!

Cultural vomit.
