It also requires Facebook verification, which requires a cell phone number.

Let me get this straight....Facefarque requires you to have a cellphone?

I know I see all these airheads frantically tapping away at their phones 24/7, but geez. I guess they know their audience?

With a cell phone number, force fed adverts are far more obvious and effective than old style emails. A lot of peeps today literally live their life on the small screen.

I believe that a cell phone number is not required to sign up for Facebook, but they will sometimes require one for verification, primarily (I understand) to detect phony accounts who are suspected of liking for money or whatever.

They sometimes require a "mobile" phone number to send a verification code to. But it doesn't really have to be a mobile number, any real number you have access to will do.
