Not sure if people have know or not, thought I'd post anyway, but if your number is saved on someones phone it's possible for them to search for friends on facebook through their mobile contacts....

Found out through a weirdo that I texted but never met messaging me on facebook today - removed my number from my profile immediately.

Really? Wow... thanks for that.

But it should only work if the number is also on Facebook and linked to your profile right?

Hence I never put my phone number on Facebook and besides, I have a separate mobile for swinging and use my main phone on any website if I have to

It should but it also does it if you have Facebook text notifications set up!

Having a fun phone is certainly the way to go!

You don't want people knowing all your business / dirty secrets

Weve done this but noticed that if you type our user name into google it shows up with our tweets!!!

I've just had a shock when I went to update a contact in my phone, all my Facebook friends who have any details, phone numbers email addys etc, saved on FB had been copied into my phone without me knowing. When my phone did an update last week I chose not to link my phone and FB account and yet it did it any way!!!
