When my gf lived in Malaysia, she added her phone number to FB and forgot about it. Years later, after having moved back to Vietnam, the number was recycled and someone was able to use that number to gain access to her FB account and reset the password.
Getting access back to her account took a bunch of steps, including adding her current number.
The interface for FB really makes it seem like you might lose access to your account if you don't provide them with your number. Even better is that FB exposes a small list of your friends (and the total count) of everyone who has given them their phone number.

tl;dr: Don't add your phone number to FB.
