NOTE: I have my main account under my real name on FB with my personal phone linked to it.

However, I had another one for business and used my google phone number. FB never sent me the verfication last month. So I have no access to that account. FYI I had that account for at least 15 years and now I cannot access it....

That made me rethink Facebook. And also all the communities I manage there. I have parallel communities on LinkedIn, just in case.
