As a counterpoint, I recently tried to sign up for a store card to take advantage of promotions on a large purchase. I was not approved- apparently because “my phone number could not be validated”. This even though I had my drivers license, ssn, and spoke personally with a bank representative. Weird.

Can't comment on why the other things weren't enough, but do you have a "real" phone number or is it VoIP? I was unable to verify my Twitter account until I contacted support, nor could I get the IRS website to take my number when doing taxes, and I think the reason is that my (small) carrier uses VoIP: https://help.republicwireless.com/hc/en-us/articles/36002509...
