You only need a phone number linked to the FB account during setup. Once 2fa is turned on you can unlink the phone number.

A lot of sites are like this but they miss the point... which is that I don't want to give them my mobile phone number in the first place.

I might, if I could reasonably trust that they really do delete it, but I think experience shows that we can't completely trust most companies nowadays.

Sign up with any voip provider and get an SMS-capable number for one month. That's what I did for gandi.net.

Even though I've set up 2FA with Facebook, every time they ask for it they also send me the code in an SMS.
