How to create a brand new FB account in 2026?

1. Should I create the account using my phone number that came with my SIM card, or create it with email first and add the phone number afterward?
2. I plan to only use it on phone data, no home WI-FI, should I enable 2FA immediately, or wait until the account has been established for a while?

when you open the accounts do you warm them up?

Gurus, long story short, I need to create a brand new Facebook account. I have a brand-new phone and a brand-new SIM card.

My main goal is to have Facebook Marketplace available and active without running into unnecessary ID/identity confirmation issues.

What would be the best way to set up the account?

If you create a Facebook account for sales purposes, I don't think a new account will last long on the platform.
