Australia Mobile Numbers for Facebook Verification

Aussie numbers are a steady hand for Facebook verification. +61 codes from Telstra and Optus slide through the SMS check without any drama. Facebook’s algorithm clearly trusts Australian mobile ranges, and I have used them to create test accounts for ad campaign research without a single outright rejection.

I pick an Australian number that was added in the last couple of hours and has no Facebook history. Enter it, keep the tab open, and the code appears in about twenty seconds. If it does not, I switch to a different Australian city—like moving from Sydney to Melbourne—and the second attempt always works. Never retry the same number because Facebook logs that.
