I seriously find it amusing anyone has that outlook. I'd still also like you to answer how you are privy to such information.

Is there any point in it going to you?
Let's say it wasn't your wife, and instead it was someone else and it was your phone. You would have received the text, ignored it and essentially the request from the Facebook user would be invalid and useless.
I think we both summed it up well.You may have summed it up better than I. Heh.
No, that isn't how it works. They obviously have the # now. If they can pull the verification off of it THEY HAVE IT. It is no longer considered yours.
If I have my cell on my personal profile. Add another profile with another name, and use that number... once I send it to verify they number from my account, Facebook assumes the old owner no longer has that number. There are cases where numbers are reused on cell phones. That is why you weren't alerted. It doesn't matter who the phone #'s bill is in, anything like that.
I am the owner of that number, I receive the bill in my name. What gives facebook the right to give it to another person when they know it belongs to me (or they would not have emailed me) without me approving it first? To me, they do not care, it's all about getting a verified cell number, they do not care who is in possession of the phone.

It has nothing to do with recycled phone numbers: it *is* my wife's phone number, but it is in my name, and I never gave it to facebook.
I understand what Lawrence is saying and why he feels concern.
Follow this....
Question:
- Facebook automatically associated that number with both his de-actived account and his wife's account (remember, they told him that they were removing it from his account, when he never had ever added it).
How can you remove something that was never "associated"?

The point is, it should have been emailed to me first, to inform me. I do not own a cell phone (can't receive texts). The email I received did not ask me to verify anything, it *told* me the cell number (which I never gave them) was removed from my profile (which was never on my profile) and given to someone else.
The email I received did not ask me to verify anything, it *told* me the cell number (which I never gave them <- this) was removed from my profile (which was never on my profile <- this) and given to someone else.
Only because they VERIFIED it. It was VERIFIED to be physically in someone else's POSSESSION. VERIFIED. They certainly didn't guess the verification code. The number that received the text REPLIED with the proper VERIFICATION. Why the need to inform you? They do not know when someone changes numbers, or quits using cell phones. If it is never VERIFIED, you don't get the email.
When facebook knows the phone number belongs to someone else (which they did or they would not have emailed me), and allowed that number to be verified by phone by another facebook user, is wrong.
Hello Mrs. Lawrence, you've done nothing wrongSo I can be in possession of anyone's phone and thus verify any code sent. That is my point. When facebook knows the phone number belongs to someone else (which they did or they would not have emailed me), and allowed that number to be verified by phone by another facebook user, is wrong. It should be emailed to me first.
My wife apologizes for this thread, btw, as she said... "I just put my cell number in my profile"
Somehow, one way or another, it was added onto your profile somehow, by someone, OTHER than Facebook. It isn't magic.
You haven't explained anything in regards to this thread. Why would facebook notify me that they removed a non-existent cell number from my profile page, and what gives them the rights to remove it anyways when they know it belongs to me (or I would not have been notified)?I quit. Really. I am getting a headache trying to explain this.
