Any service that forces a telephone registration for verification is crap in my opinion.

If you need an account professionally, you need a mobile phone to be provided for you. This is in your interest and that of the company if they decide they want to use your account beyond your employment for example.

I agree with you, but it does dramatically cut down on spam registration.

Do you have a better way to increase the probability that the signup is a real human being and not a bot of some kind?
iPhone requires a phone registration no?
