I did not receive a confirmation code to finish configuring the Facebook texts

If you recently changed your mobile phone number from a different mobile service provider, you may not be able to receive the confirmation code.

If you have not moved your number recently, try these tips:

1. Contact your mobile service provider to make sure you are sending a text message (SMS) to the correct number.
2. Remove signatures at the end of your text messages (SMS) that may interfere with Facebook to receive those messages.
3. Try sending on or Fb to 32665 (FBOOK).
4. Wait 24 hours in case there is a delay in delivery.

The solution to the Facebook confirmation code not working or sending

Many users who experienced this problem tried to verify their account with their smartphone through the Facebook application.

A functional solution so that the Facebook confirmation code does not work is NOT to use your mobile phone to verify your account. Instead, log in to your Facebook using a laptop or desktop computer to enter your confirmation code and successfully verify your account.

Alternatively, you can try confirming your Facebook using your cell phone browser at https://touch.facebook.com/ and then setting up your account at touch.facebook.com/settings/account/ to follow the explanatory instructions confirming your account on the mobile.

In case you're wondering what is touch.facebook.com? - It is a more sophisticated product and has more features. It is a thin version of facebook.com made primarily for smartphones and touch devices without an application for the specific mobile operating system. It allows you to view your feed, profiles of friends, photos, comment and manage your account as you would on the Facebook desktop.
