Facebook number screening
The largest social network by user base, and the only platform here where a phone number can be traced all the way to a UID, profile gender and avatar.
Coverage

- Philippines
- Vietnam

Across Southeast and South Asia, Facebook was many people's first door to the internet — a habit formed during the zero-rated data era, where the Facebook account came before the email address. In the Philippines and Indonesia, small merchants still run their storefront off a Page.
Platform characteristics
- Both phone and email registration are common, and both can be checked — which is why hit rates here run higher than on comparable platforms
- Every account carries a public numeric UID that survives name changes, avatar changes and username changes; it is the only stable identity on the site
- Profiles expose name, avatar and gender by default, unless the user has locked those fields down
- A separate business Page system wired into Messenger, where the UID doubles as the recipient handle for direct messaging

What screening solves here
This is the only platform here where a number leads to a UID, and the UID leads to gender and avatar. An activation check answers yes-or-no; the UID is what lets you segment — split creative by gender, drop the shells that have no real avatar, and feed the UID straight into Messenger outreach as the recipient handle.
FAQ
How do I bulk check whether phone numbers have Facebook accounts?
Upload your numbers as a txt or Excel file. Each one is checked against Facebook's account-existence channel and comes back marked active or not. Tens of thousands per run is fine, results export in the original row order with number formatting untouched. No account login is involved, and nothing is sent to the person on the other end — no notification, no friend request.
What is a Facebook UID and what can I do with one?
The UID is the public numeric ID Facebook assigns to each account. It stays the same when someone changes their display name, avatar or username, which makes it the one stable identifier a person has on Facebook. With a UID you can locate the profile, read the public gender and avatar for segmentation, and feed it directly into Messenger outreach tools as the recipient.
Can Facebook screening tell me a contact's gender?
Yes, but it runs through the UID path: the number (or an existing UID) resolves to a profile, and the gender and avatar are read from what that profile publicly displays. That depends on the user leaving those fields public — accounts with tighter privacy settings simply return nothing, and those rows are flagged separately rather than filled in with a guess.
