How do I activate Mobile Texts?
You can go to the Mobile tab of your Account Settings page to activate Mobile Texts. Click "Register for Facebook Text Messages" and complete the steps that follow.
If you find that your carrier is not listed in the drop-down menu in Step 1 of the activation process, it means that your carrier is not currently supported for Facebook Mobile Texts. We encourage you to talk to your mobile operator to let them know that you are interested in this service.
I didn’t receive a confirmation code to activate Mobile Texts.
First, check the Mobile section for more information about whether your carrier is supported.
If your carrier is not supported, we encourage you to contact your carrier to let them know that you are interested in this service. If enough people show interest, it may convince them to support our texts. For now, please note that you can use our Mobile Uploads feature to upload photos, videos, and notes directly from your phone. You should also be able to access your account via Mobile Web at m.facebook.com or iphone.facebook.com for iPhones.
If your carrier is supported, please read the following guidelines to troubleshoot your problem:
* Make sure that your phone does not include a signature at the end of your text messages. This can interfere with Facebook Mobile correspondence.
* Try sending "On" (without quotes) to 32665 to receive your code.
* If you have recently ported your number from a different carrier, you may not be able to receive the confirmation code to activate Mobile Texts. This is a problem that we are aware of and hope to resolve it as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience.
How much does it cost?
Facebook does not charge you for using Mobile Texts. However, your mobile provider's standard rates for sending and receiving text messages still apply.
Will my phone number be displayed in my profile?
Your number is only shown if you entered the number in your profile contact info, or if you keep "Add my cell number to my profile" checked when you activate Facebook Mobile Texts. You can edit whether your mobile number is included in your profile contact info by clicking "Edit My Profile" under your profile picture. To choose who is allowed to view your mobile number, go to the Privacy Settings page, accessible from the Account drop-down menu at the top of any Facebook page.
How do I add a new number or switch numbers?
You can go to the Mobile tab of your Account Settings page to add, remove, or switch numbers.
If you already have a mobile number on the account, you can click "Add another phone" to activate another number for Mobile texts, or remove your existing number by clicking "remove" next to the number you wish to remove.
If you have more than one number registered on your account for Mobile Texts, you will have the ability to choose which number you want to send your Mobile Texts to. Simply select the mobile number you want to receive your texts on in the "Send texts to" drop-down menu at the bottom of this page.
