unless they've changed their policy on this you can email support and say you don't have a phone number and they'll re-active your account, has worked for me in the past.

While this works, I still hate the lie that they have suspended your account for "suspicious activity".

If you're going to require a phone number to read tweets, don't lie about it, just be up front about it.
