If you have a phone number, why can't it be verified?

Since you should get either an automated phone number or a text message (SMS) containing an authorization code.
If you are using a landline, try entering the phone number again but be sure to wait 5 minutes.
Is the problem that you are using a VOIP (Voice over IP)?
Perhaps you can use another phone number(someone else's phone)for authentication during the first 90 days. After that you can unlink the borrowed number number from your account and replace it with your own.
