Good question. I'd also like to know why they require the phone number. If they say it is for 'authentication' purposes, then email authentication/verification can do just fine. For this reason, I haven't signed up. Wish their team would consider removing this obligation for sign-up.

Technically speaking, you can buy a burner phone, a pay per minute SIM card with an unlocked phone that can take 2 more SIM cards simultaneously plus the ability to remove the battery and SD cards on top of that. A phone is simply a computer. So, have multiple phones. Do verification on one phone and do the talking and the texting on your other phone. Keep one of your phones at home at all times.
Email and phone is the same in many ways. There are phone apps that let you talk to people for free when you have WIFI. You can also get pay per minute SIM cards that can be removed and taken out of the phone. Don't get the phones that lock the SIM cards and the batteries inside. They still have phones out there that let you take the cards and the batteries out of your phone freely. Also, people should root their phones to remove the Android or Apple operating systems (OS) and replace the OS with Linux, with Ubuntu, with something that could be better in some ways.
