Facebook says that it's "noticed some suspicious activity on my account" and is asking me to enter my phone number so it can text me a confirmation code that I can enter.

I do not put my phone # on the internet for privacy concerns.

Is there any (legal) way of circumventing this?

You can use a phone verification service to bypass that.

Use SMS verification service. You can find those here on HF.

I entered a few phone #'s from the free sms verification services and it says that facebook doesn't recognize it.

Usually after verifying phone it asks for ID.

I would just start a new account at that point.

I second these wise words. I on the other hand don't care much to put my info online.

If you have serious privacy concerns, delete your account. Facebook isn't the best place to be on if you care about privacy imo.
Also you can use those alt numbers that apps give you. Although I'm not sure if it will work because some websites have filters.

I don't think that it's illegal. Depends if the numbers are obtained legally.

[Dead Presidents]

SMS verification services are legal.

SMSPVA.com has good and cheap numbers you can use.

Is there any FREE sms verification service?

I don't own a credit card.

You can use your phone number or use an SMS service. Note though that it may set your phone number that you put in your settings and you will receive verification texts to be able to access your account. Anytime I use a computer elsewhere it wants to text me.

That's true, especially after they got exposed for selling data and stuff (which most companies do secretly anyways).
