I have a phone number. I just don't see why I should give it out to everyone.

That's my point. Don't. Use throwaway ones whenever it's not critical information and simply avoid the service should they think secure information should be on the mobile network.
At least that's what I do. But so far things only got worse than better.
Services that use SMS as single only way to reset a password without further verifications are simply not thinking about security enough
