And note that a phone number is the number for calling a telephone, not some jumped-up pager. They want a mobile number so they can send you SMS messages. I hate SMS, and I deplore it's use as a part of any kind of security protocol.

If you don't intend to speak to me, you don't need my phone number. If you do, then my (VOIP) landline will serve you fine.

I would amend that just a little: If I don't intend to have you speak to me, you don't need my phone number.
