Facebook needs to verify my account by phone. Account locked out.

Facebook for whatever reason decided to lock out my account. When I would try to log in, it would ask me to verify by phone.

Great, no problem. Except that when I would put in the number, it would only give the option of sending me a text.

Fine, no problem. Put in the number and wait.

and wait.

and wait.

and wait for an hour and no message.

Try again and repeat.

Try with a different number and repeat.

Until it finally comes back saying you've tried too many times.

This happened for a couple of days.

Scouring on the internet led to a solution that worked for some people: Resetting password. So I tried it. Said Forgot Password, got a new one, and got stuck in the same loop.

Clicked "Stuck in a loop" link at the bottom. This did nothing.

Decided to try with a U.S. number. Well for whatever reason it geographically locks you to your location. Tried with a proxy, success! ... kind of.

Then it gave the option of either calling or sending a text.

Tried the text, and same story. No text message came after waiting and waiting.

Tried the call method, and got a message saying their servers are overloaded. Tried again a number of times and finally got through on the one time. Got the phone call, entered the number and got my account back!

... after almost a week.

So try that: U.S. proxy + U.S. number + call
