EVERYONE'S PHONE NUMBERS ARE NOW ON FACEBOOK!! Cell #'s too! Go to top right of your screen, click Account then Edit Friends. Go to left side of your screen, click Phonebook. Everyone's phone numbers are now published. Please repost to let your friends know this is happening so they can remove their numbers.
I can't believe how many celebrity phone numbers my wife has on her account.

Move on, nothing to see here. If tyou have your privacy settings right, only your friends will be able to see it - people who probably have it anyway.
So put minimal privacy restrictions on your account and you will be fine.

Additionally, the number only shows up if you put it on your profile. Only 3 of my friends' numbers come up, the rest - nothing.

Not being idiot enough to give Facebook my phone number, I have nothing to fear.

I only see a few that numbers on their fb, but I never include mine. One person even shows their home number.

Your cell number is only on there if you put it on there in the first place (Which is something I never understood people doing).

I don't have an account but I was surprised at how many people had both land lines and cell numbers listed. I called Don Geronimo's and it rang through to KHTK's studio. There were all sorts of higher profile names listed but I didn't try any.

I wasn't bashing you either way, but yeah, it really is surprising! A lot of people have now had their numbers completely exposed without realizing it.
