Find Someone on Facebook by Phone Number

Maybe you've come home with a phone number in your pocket, but you can't remember who gave it to you. Or maybe you're wondering who that mystery number is on your caller ID. If you're trying to find the person associated with the digits, Facebook may be able to help. Some Facebook users list their phone number on their profiles. If your contact is one of those people, then his profile will appear in a quick Facebook search. But if he doesn't list the number on his profile, he won't appear in your search results.

Step 1

Log in to your Facebook account. You will need to have an active account in order to search for any users.

Step 2

Type the phone number into the search field at the top of the Facebook homepage. Press "Enter" to begin the search.

Step 3

Scroll through the list of search results. If your friend has listed her phone number on her public Facebook profile, her name should appear in the search results. Facebook also uses the Bing search engine to search outside of Facebook for terms that it could not find definitive matches for. You may end up with a few false positive results from Bing. Only click on links that are actual Facebook profiles.
