Friends have been urging me to start a Facebook page, so I finally relented. Now when I try to access my page I am getting this instead (see attachment). What is going on and how do I work around it. I tried deleting Facebook cookies and using different browses, but this still persists. I don't even know what an SMS is and I don't have a mobile phone.

Hi debodun,

Sorry late in responding, not a Facebook user, but I found some information below for you.

How do I verify my account if I don't have a phone number?

"Unfortunately, you will not be able to access your Facebook account unless you are able to confirm your identity by receiving a text message or an automated phone call."

Also see link below,

Why is Facebook asking me to confirm my identity by providing my phone number?

"This is a security measure to help ensure that Facebook remains a community of people using their real identities to connect and share. If you ever lose your password, you’ll also be able to use your mobile number to access your account."

That's too bad.
