It seems craig's uses the phone to send a  special verification code.
Why they don't just do it like everyone else is a mystery to me. But
this isn't the most bizarre thing I have seen: I made a special entry
for the Wikipedia a while back (look up Cassandra and check out
Cassandra syndrome) and they wouldn't allow it until I could put a
source for it. Strangely enough, they allowed my own reference source
as a reference source. Go figure. :-)
