    Right! I agree! I never listed any phone number on my FB and I don't use my cell for FB! That is just ridiculous!

    actually it doesn't matter. i do not have an iphone or facebook with my phone and i still had all the numbers listed. i'd advise everyone to check it out and deactivate regardless.

    this has been an ongoign "function" on FB.... If ppl have listed a phone # it shoes up.. I never lsited a phone nember and do not access it via my phone.... but it is wise to ck on setting freq as they love to change things around.. even if u have disabled certain functinos and setting, they are at liberty to " update" and enable things at will.....U must stay vigulant of ur security.

    I just found this out this morning. I don't have a cell phone. The ones they publish are those who use their phones to access facebook. I am quite upset.

    If you don't list you number on your facebook profile it doesn't show up on anyone's contact list, unless they have their phone contacts merged with facebook - in which case they have your number already and it only shows up on their list when they are logged in. My phone# is not on my profile, and even though I do use my phone to access facebook it is still not on facebook (I just checked it out on hubby's contact list)

    It worked!!!!!

    I just received the following message from Facebook:

    As you requested, your imported contacts have been removed. Please note: if some of your friends choose to share their email or phone numbers with friends on Facebook, you'll still see their contact information in your phonebook.

    This is not a violation. Facebook asks you if it can pull from your e-mail accout information. You have to agree to this. The ONLY phone numbers that show are the contacts that you have entered with phone numbers. I have nearly 80 friends, but only 12 phone numbers show up because I didn't enter them. It also says this on Facebook:

    "Facebook Phonebook displays contacts you have imported from your phone, as well as your Facebook friends.

    If you would like to remove your mobile contacts from Facebook, you need to disable the feature on your mobile phone and visit this page."

    ("this page" is highlighted and you can easily click and disable. This is called opting out. It is quick and easy. You agreed to this when you set up your account and there is an opt out function. THis is not any type of violation).
