How to Locate a Phone Number Using Facebook

How to Locate a Phone Number Using Facebook: Facebook is a platform where users can interact with one another, during the process of creating an account with Facebook, each user is required to fill in their personal bio data which includes users phone number, address and others. But Facebook allows users to show or hide their contact information depending on preference, but when you are desperate to get the phone number of a fellow user, this is pretty easy to do if the person decides to let you see it but if not then it might be a little difficult.

Below are the steps to follow in order to locate someone’s phone number on Facebook;

Step 

Log into your Facebook account using any browser.

Step
Enter the name of the user who you want his/her contact information into the "Search" field, and then click the search; the small magnifying lens

Step
From the search result, click the individual profile picture to go into the persons profile page

Step
Now scroll down the profile to the Information area. If the contact information is unlocked, you would see the individuals phone number. You can also see other contact information such as an Instant Messenger screen name or an email address.

Step
If the phone numbered is hidden, simply send a direct message through Facebook, and humbly request for the persons phone number and include your reason for requesting that information.

If your reasons are genuine, then the person should forward his/her phone number to you through Facebook too or better still, you can drop your own phone number together with the message you sent so the individual can call you as soon as he sees the message.

There are other illegal means which can be used but I would not advice you to use such methods if your intensions are pure.
