Some phone numbers are not usable for phone verification, including the following:

phone numbers from outside the U.S. or Canada
pre-paid mobile numbers
toll-free numbers (area codes 800, 877)
some Voice over IP (VOIP) phone numbers (including Cricket, MetroPCS)

(This information is from this Craigslist page, which you may want to review for further guidance.)

If necessary, employ the aid of a buddy who'll stand by and relay the verification code to you.
